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.

This fonds primarily contains records related to urban planning and produced by or for the City of Windsor. These include meeting minutes, reports, plans, studies, maps, and notes, predominantly from 1944-1965. Of special note are several proposals relating to the Windsor riverfront. There is also a draft copy of a 2006 economic development strategy created by the city for the Windsor-Essex County region. The records are arranged into three series: Series I, City of Windsor, Planning Commission; Series II, E.G. Faludi, Windsor’s Master Plan; Series III, Economic Development Plan.

This fonds consists of 62 files produced during Bert Weeks’ three terms as mayor of Windsor, 1975-1982.

There are also files of personal correspondence, telegrams, speeches, memos, press releases, transcripts of CKWW radio broadcasts, and news clippings. One file contains six photographs.

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.
