This fonds consists of 19 large, mounted black and white prints (some with original captions) depicting heritage buildings in Windsor, Ontario. The former towns (now historic neighbourhoods) of Sandwich and Walkerville are heavily featured. These include Dillon Hall at the University of Windsor; Old Sandwich’s McGregor-Cowan House, Sandwich Baptist Church, St. John’s Anglican Church, the Registry Office, and the Gaol; and Walkerville’s Hiram Walker & Sons distillery, St. Mary’s Anglican Church, and Willistead Manor. There are also half a dozen images of architectural details appearing in a variety of otherwise unidentified homes or storefronts around the city.

This fonds primarily contains records created by the Hiram Walker-Gooderham & Worts Ltd. corporation in the course of their business activities, 1928-1971. It is divided into four series. Series I contains a short history of entrepreneur Hiram Walker and his company town of Walkerville, 1858-1958. Series II contains directors’ reports and annual reports (1928-1971 with some gaps) produced by Hiram Walker-Gooderham & Worts. Series III contains photocopies of documents produced in connection with Hiram Walker-Gooderham & Worts’ 1935-1936 offering of shares on the New York Stock Exchange. Series IV contains a souvenir booklet commemorating the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, produced by Gooderham & Worts.

This fonds consists of alphabetically-arranged subject files pertinent to Hugh Peacock's time as MPP for Windsor West, 1967-1971. They contain records, reports, and other information pertinent to local, provincial, and national issues of the day as well as issues of special concern to the labour-oriented New Democratic Party. These include affordable housing, credit unions, public utilities (including electricity and natural gas), the environment, health care, unemployment, workers’ compensation, child welfare and family services, child care services, funding for separate schools in Ontario, municipal and federal taxation, trade and economic development, postsecondary institutions, and government regulation of tobacco, alcohol, and guns.

The fonds consists of original Windsor Star editorial cartoons drawn by Mike Graston that reflect local, provincial, national, and international public affairs of the period 1981-2016. The images have been arranged by date of creation. Politics and politicians figure prominently, at all four levels.

Municipal topics include mayors and city councillors, elections, public utilities and infrastructure, local Canada-US border crossings, automakers and other major local employers, unions and strikes, strip clubs, casinos, the downtown core, and riverfront development plans.

Provincial topics include premiers and Windsor/Essex members of provincial parliament, party leaders, economic policies, education, health care, and elections.

National topics include prime ministers and Windsor/Essex members of parliament, party leaders, economic policies, taxation, national defence, elections, same-sex marriage, Quebec separatism, Western alienation, and many political scandals.

International issues include wars in Iraq, war in Afghanistan, school shootings, the British Royal Family, American presidential politics, and Canadian-American relations.

Social issues are a secondary focus, with recurring themes of technological change, demographic change in Canada, Western popular culture (including television, sports, music, and celebrities), Remembrance Day, public health, and the environment.

A small amount of biographical information about Mike Graston and past exhibits of his work is also included in a textual file.
