This fonds consists of documents relating to the creation of a comprehensive guide to women's movement archives in Canada. The ‘guide’ came about because the CWMA saw the need for a national bilingual guide to women’s groups with records specifically relating to the Women’s Movement. The CWMA undertook a preliminary survey in 1985/1986 and this survey became a pilot project for the final guide. In 1989, the Canadian Research Tools program of the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRCC) awarded the CWMA a grant to produce a guide to the records of the women’s movement; the two-year project began in 1990 and was completed in 1992. The detailed Name Index was compiled to provide access to the records of groups known by more than one name. The Subject Index accommodates researchers’ interest in specific women’s issues. Not all women’s groups were included, e.g. charities run by women, also excluded were government departments and councils. The guide is divided into two parts; the first lists records held by archives, the second lists records held by organizations. Arranged hierarchically; national, provincial etc, geographically; east to west, and alphabetically.
It lists archival holdings of about 800 collections representing 650 groups.

The majority of the documents in the fonds are textual, however, there are some microform and computer disks. The documents consist of project plans, funding applications and reports, correspondence, questionnaires, lists of women's groups, and proofs of the final version. This fonds gives an accurate snapshot of records relating to the women's movement in Canada in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Ce fonds est constitué de documents relatifs à la création d'un guide complet des archives du mouvement des femmes au Canada. Ce guide est né de la nécessité, pour les Archives Canadiennes du Mouvement des Femmes, de disposer d'un guide national bilingue des groupes de femmes possédant des documents spécifiquement liés au Mouvement des femmes. L'ACMF a entrepris une enquête préliminaire en 1985/1986 et cette enquête est devenue un projet pilote pour le guide final. En 1989, le programme Outils de recherche canadiens du Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines du Canada (CRSH) a accordé à l’ACMF une subvention pour la production d'un guide des archives du mouvement féministe ; le projet de deux ans a débuté en 1990 et s'est achevé en 1992. L'index détaillé des noms a été compilé pour permettre l'accès aux documents des groupes connus sous plus d'un nom. L'index des sujets permet aux chercheurs de s'intéresser à des questions spécifiques concernant les femmes. Tous les groupes de femmes n'ont pas été inclus, par exemple les organisations caritatives dirigées par des femmes. Les ministères et les conseils gouvernementaux ont également été exclus. Le guide est divisé en deux parties : la première énumère les documents conservés par les archives, la seconde les documents conservés par les organisations. Les documents sont classés par ordre hiérarchique (national, provincial, etc.), par ordre géographique (d'est en ouest) et par ordre alphabétique.
Il répertorie les fonds d'archives d'environ 800 collections représentant 650 groupes.
La majorité des documents du fonds sont textuels, mais il y a aussi des microformes et des disques d'ordinateur. Les documents sont des plans de projets, des demandes de financement et des rapports, de la correspondance, des questionnaires, des listes de groupes de femmes et des épreuves de la version finale. Ce fonds donne un aperçu précis des documents relatifs au mouvement des femmes au Canada à la fin des années 1980 et au début des années 1990.

The collection consists of material personally collected by Dr. Staško. In the mid-seventies, Dr. Staško launched an appeal to his Slovak compatriots and friends from all over the world, to participate in the creation of the Slovak National Archives in the United States. In response to this request, some of Dr. Staško's contemporaries donated their personal papers and other collections related to Slovak history and culture. Dr. Staško's project of the American-based Slovak National Archives did not materialize for lack of physical and financial resources. However, as a result of Dr. Staško's initiative, important documents were collected from various sources.

The collection primarily consists of the personal papers of well know diplomats, politicians, professors, journalists, poets, and artists. It consists of correspondence, personal photographs, journals and memoirs, writing and poetry, as well as newspaper clippings, pamphlets and other collected materials.

The collection also includes the records of prominent Slovak organizations including the Slovak Action Committee, the Slovak League of America, and the Slovak World Congress.

These documents offer information on: the political history of Slovakia during its many regimes; the history and culture of the Slovak people living in Slovakia or abroad, especially in the United States and Canada. It provides important, and often unique information on Slovak political, cultural, and nationalist organizations aimed at the conservation and survival of the Slovak heritage.

This fonds may contain information related to sensitive historical events, particularly the Second World War. Some individuals mentioned or depicted in these archives may have been involved, directly or indirectly, in war, collaboration with authoritarian regimes, or support for the Nazi regime.
