Custodial history
Born in Ottawa on Christmas Day, 1942 to James Roberts Cameron and Margaret Elson (McIntyre) Jardine, Jim later lived in Maple and Kleinburg. After completing his Ph.D. at the University of Glasgow in 1970 (and writing a thesis which detailed the factors that directed Scottish emigration to Upper Canada in the 1850s), Jim taught urban studies at Atkinson College, York University, from 1971-1998. He was a decorated graduate of Lawrence Park Collegiate in Toronto and he published Good For What Ails You, a compilation of self-help remedies from early Canada, as well as The Canadian Beaver Book, a compendium of fact and lore about Canada
Scope and content
Fonds consists of plans, reports, studies, correspondence, published materials, essays, and newspaper clippings which document the planning and development of Vaughan. Specific Vaughan topics within the fonds include the Maple dump, the Maple theme park, the Woodbridge annexation, and the building of the Vaughan industrial park, to name but a few. Moreover, official plans and studies for Thornhill, Maple, Kleinburg, Nashville, and Woodbridge provide invaluable evidence as to the evolutionary development of these communities.
