This fonds consists of the private records of Katherine Robertson, a student at the University of Toronto, dating back to around the beginning of her high school studies in 2011 up to 2025. The majority are documents related to school activities, starting with Cedarbrae Collegiate Institute, continuing through her HBA at the University of Toronto Scarborough, and leading into her graduate studies at the Faculty of Information. There is significant documentation related to the development of her paper “Myth and Conflict Under the Solomonic Dynasty” for publication, from its initial creation as a course paper, to her presentation at the annual conference of the Canadian Society of Medievalists, and the ongoing preparation of the paper and its accompanying volume with De Gruyter. Katherine’s correspondences are made up largely of emails regarding school activities, employment, and events of personal interest, with some physical mailed copies of admissions and tax documents. There are some employment and volunteer-related documents from her work with the Toronto District School Board and Entertainment Partners Canada Inc. The fonds also contains some of Katherine’s government documents, mainly financial records, as well as documents of her personal interests.
Materials in the fonds are both digital and physical, and include copies of assignments, research notes, annotated course readings and lecture materials, admissions and enrollment-related documents, event and extracurricular ephemera, manuscripts, publisher specifications, PDFs of emails, physical letters, CVs/resumes, work contracts, timesheets, T4s, personal notes, collected recipes, photographs taken by Katherine, and images saved for reference or inspiration. The fonds has been arranged into the following series:
