Notice biographique
Charlotte (Carlotte) Elizabeth Whitton was born in Renfrew, Ontario in 1896. She entered Queen's University in 1914 and graduated with an M.A. in 1917. Dr. Whitton followed a career in social work and politics. She was co-editor of Social Welfare and became first full-time Director of the Canadian Council on Child Welfare in 1926. In 1941 she gave up this post to write and act as consultant to both federal and provincial governments on social services and welfare. Dr. Whitton was elected controller of the City of Ottawa in 1950 and became the first woman mayor of a Canadian city in 1951. She served four terms as mayor and was active in city politics until 1972. Dr. Whitton received many honours during her lifetime, among them: Commander of the Order of the British Empire (1934); the Service Medal of the Order of Canada (1967); honourary doctorates from such institutions as King's College, Halifax (1939) and Smith College, Mass. (1955). She died in Ottawa in 1975.
Historique de la conservation
In her will, Dr. Whitton provided that her papers concerning Queen's should come to the University. As the collection was processed, The Public Archives of Canada forwarded these papers to Queen's. A few items noted in the finding aid were donated to Queen's by Miss Whitton in 1967.
Portée et contenu
The fonds consists of records created between 1914 and 1972 and are primarily concerned with Dr. Whitton's relationship with Queen's University, both as a student and an alumnae. The fonds is comprised of correspondence (primarily relating to Queen's University), lecture notes, articles, publications relating to Queen's University, draft copy of report on the administration of welfare services in Ontario (prepared for the Ontario Government in 1943) and typescript of Elizabeth Tudor, Queen of England, 1533-1603.
