Fonds · 1935-2016
Fonds consists of material relating to the life and accomplishments of Lynn Jones, members of her family and community, and as well as material collected by her that documents over 50 years of African-Nova Scotian, African, and African Diaspora heritage and history. The Collection documents Lynn's family, her own achievements (Lynn's candidacy for the NDP, union service, election observer work in South Africa, Canadian Public Service career, and involvement with the Black Working Group), and those of her brother Rocky. The Collection also documents local, national, and international people, history and issues through a substantive collection of news clippings, pamphlets, brochures, posters, and other materials. These record local communities (especially in Truro, Nova Scotia), local events, struggles against racism locally, nationally, and internationally, and Black community organizations such as the Black Working Group set up to advise Human Resources and Development Canada on how to work with the African-Canadian community. The Collection material—organized into seven series: Clippings and ephemera relating to the Jones Family; Black Working Group materials; Reference and research files by Lynn Jones; Grassroots publications collected by Lynn Jones; Rocky Jones material collected by Lynn Jones; Halifax community organizations; Lynn Jones personal and professional records—can be explored through the Series links above to the left. 2016.002.1
