Custodial history
Scope and content
Series consists of files created in the office of the College President and Director of Technical Education, primarily from 1911 to 1947, when Dr. F.H. Sexton held the dual President/Director posting. There are some files from the tenure of Dr. A.E. Cameron, and scattered few from Dr. Holbrook's tenure, then more from the 1980s and 1990s. These later records appear to have been selected by the last President and/or the Department of Community Relations as to what should be transferred to the Archives (i.e. very few and very select records remain from what must have been a larger whole). Series documents vocational education through the operation of evening classes and mining schools, including hiring of instructors, inspection reports, and student records. Photographs of technical education classes are found in the Technical Education Photographs series. The College's contribution to the war effort and to the vocational rehabilitation of discharged soldiers is also documented in this series and the Technical Education Photographs series. Series also documents the administration of NSTC, including hiring of faculty, faculty meetings, correspondence with students, curriculum development, scholarship administration and student records. The President's records also include files from Sexton's involvement in other organizations, including the Education Committee of the Halifax YMCA's Red Triangle Hut, the Maritime Board of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy; the Central Advisory Committee of the Carnegie Corporation; the Biological Board of Canada; the Canadian Education Association; the Rotary Club of Canada; Commission on Highway Dust Prevention; and the Halifax Conservatory of Music. Of particular note are files from Sexton's 1924-1927 tenure as President of the Victoria School of Art and Design, which became the Nova Scotia College of Art in 1925, and from the Board of Governors of the Nova Scotia Museum of Science, 1948-1952. Files are arranged in their original order - alphabetical by subject within each year. College files and technical education files were intermingled.
