Manuscripts/Other Writings by Chipman series

Series consists of manuscripts and other material written by Chipman. The bulk of this material relates to Chipman's experience with the Canadian Women's Army Corps and her experiences during the war. There is also some other material of a biographical nature, some fiction and some historical pieces and newspaper articles.

Photographs series

Series consists of photographs taken by or collected by Chipman between 1940 and 1980. The bulk of the photographs is Canadian Women's Army Corp official government photographs and snapshots of friends and places she travelled. There are also a few photo prints and negatives dating back to the turn of the century. She collected early photographs to paste on pages to illustrate manuscript material that she was transcribing or as research documents for articles.

The photographs are arranged chronologically by date. Photographs were initially catalogued as part of the Haweis Family photographs, and the numbering (BC 1903) reflects this. Photographs BC 1903/78-80 were acquired as part of Joseph den Biesen’s 2016 donation. These photos are located in the archives vault.
