Item is a copy of "A History of the Department of Medicine, Dalhousie University, 1868-1975,"written by Lea Steeves, with assistance from Robert M. MacDonald, and published posthumously by the Department of Medicine.
Item consists of the fourth draft of an Atlantic Child Guidance Centre position paper, dated August 31, 1972, prepared by the Atlantic Child Guidance Centre Policy Committtee (Dr. Alexander Murchison, Dr. G. Gordon, Norris Turner, Paul Norton, Dr. S. Bijoor, and Everett Harris). The item is addressed to "all Atlantic Child Guidance Centre staff for comment" before final submission, and has the goal of ensuring that "adolescents [...] not be forgotten either in terms of bureaucratic strucutre or in terms of submergence in adult designed and orientated programs," and that they "require advocates" to ensure that any public health legislation does not overlook the needs of those who are "underage [... in a] largely adult orientated society."
File contains 11 reports, papers and proposals regarding child welfare and group homes in Nova Scotia, drafted between 1969-1974 by committees of the Atlantic Child Guidance Centre and the Children's Aid Society of Halifax.
Fonds consists of the archival records of Thomas John (Jock) Murray, which includes correspondence and research materials on neurological disease, the humanities and the history of medicine.
