Fonds consists of records created and accumulated by Trent University's Department of Philosophy. Most of the material relates to the Rousseau Congress of 1978. Rousseau Bicentennial Congress took place at Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario in June 1978, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of noted French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau's death. The Congress was put on by the Philosophy Department of Trent University in conjunction with the Canadian Philosophical Association. It was a bilingual event and many Rousseau experts and enthusiasts were invited from around the world (France, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Canada, and the United States) to present papers on Rousseau. The fonds covers the years 1977-1978.

File consists of 7 original returns, discovered by archives staff in January 2007. The documents include births, baptisms, marriages, and deaths. The marriages were not included in the Walker-Molotkow Marriage Registers; we therefore presume that they were not included in the Archives of Ontario registers. The documents are transcribed below. Also included with the 7 documents is: "A Schedule of Marriages, Births and Deaths within the United Counties of Northumberland and Durham within the year 1851," signed by T. Ward, Clerk of the Peace. (Reverse: Return of Convictions). This document provides total numbers of births, marriages, and deaths, as registered by the various ministers for the year 1851. Some of the 7 above are represented in this list.

Fonds consists of the records of the Trent Concurrent Education Student Association, including administrative records, the President's records, constitutions, newsletters, and financial records. Fonds includes editions of "The Red Apple: Our Teacher Education Newsletter" from 1987-1989.

Boxes 1-5 contain records relating to Sydney Helmer Standen (SHS) (known as Sid), as well as papers relating to other members of his family and of the families of Euphemia (Effie) Young Standen (nee McQueen) (EYS), his wife. Sid Standen was born 27 July 1905 in Minesing, Ontario, and died in Burnaby, British Columbia, 12 March 1975. In addition to documents of vital statistics, there are files regarding his schooling, teaching career, military service, sporting life, church life, and household and financial affairs. Professor Standen indicates that the papers were arranged to reflect their provenance as nearly as possible as they were found on the death of SHS in 1975. Most of the correspondence in these files contains letters received by SHS and EYS. They represent only a small fraction of the correspondence that the two received in their lives together. It is evident from even this limited record that they both engaged in a voluminous correspondence with distant family and friends. The letters span two world wars, drought and depression, and the Cold War era.
