This series consists of typescript and handwritten correspondence.
During the nineteen forties and fifties, Dr. Bailey campaigned actively to build up a solid research collection at the University of New Brunswick, particularly in the field of New Brunswick studies. Much of the correspondence in this series documents his efforts to acquire and to preserve materials relating to the province. Correspondence with Whitman Bailey, for example, discusses letters which Bailey is offering for sale for the UNB Archives collection. In correspondence with Premier J.B. McNair and National Librarian and Archivist Dr. Kaye Lamb, Dr. Bailey discusses the microfilming of New Brunswick newspapers. Letters exchanged between Dr. Bailey and Dr. Milton F. Gregg, President of UNB from 1944-1947, discuss library collections and the structure of social sciences at the university.
Dr. Bailey was responsible for establishing the first anthropology course taught at UNB in 1941, and in 1953, he secured a large grant from the Carnegie Foundation to establish an anthropology section within the Department of History and to hire the first full-time anthropology professor. Correspondence with University of Toronto anthropologist T.F. McIlwraith and with N.A.M. Mackenize, UNB President from 1940-1944, includes discussions about anthropological research and efforts to establish anthropological studies at UNB, and Dr. Bailey's growing concerns about race relations in Canada.
Correspondence with Nova Scotia Provincial Archivist Dr. D.C. Harvey includes material on the mechanics institutes (case 34 file 2).
Also included in this series is correspondence with two of the Founders' Day speakers at UNB. The Founders' Day ceremonies celebrated the signing of the petition which led to the establishment of the institution which became the University of New Brunswick. In 1944, J. Bartlett Brebner, professor of history at Columbia University, gave an address on the "Uses and Abuses of History." John Bassett, managing director of the Montreal Gazette, delivered the 1948 Founders' Day address entitled "The Function of the University in the Modern World."
Correspondence with Colin B. Mackay, UNB President from 1953- 1969 discusses administrative issues such as promotions and policies, and the anthropology grant of the early nineteen fifties.
Other key correspondents in this series include W.S. MacNutt, Dr. Diamond Jenness, and Lorne Pierce.
