Historia biográfica
Walter Dymond Gregory was born at Gaundle Farm, Parish of Montacute, Somersetshire in 1860. Walter's family came to Canada in 1869 and, being strict Quakers, settled among a colony of Friends near Woodstock.In 1882 Gregory began the study of law in Brantford, and in 1884 he came to Toronto where he was to spend the rest of his life as a lawyer. As a strong Liberal, Gregory was active politically and formed a close asociation with Goldwin Smith which lasted until Smith's death in 1910. In 1891 Gregory became Treasurer of the Continental Union Movement, a group that advocated union with the United States and in 1896 he purchased the Farmer's Weekly Sun, to which Goldwin Smith contributed a weekly column. In 1922 Gregory was appointed Royal Commissioner to investigate irregularities in the administration of the Brantford Police Force. In the same year he was made chairman of an Ontario Government Commission to examine the financing and management of the Queenston-Chippawa Power Development. Gregory died in 1939.

Alcance y contenido
The fonds consists of correspondence, articles, notebooks and photographs from the earlier period of Gregory's career, involving the Weekly Sun and the Continental Union Movement, and from his later years having to do with public affairs. There is no correspondence of a purely personal nature. Noted personages who are well represented include Goldwin Smith, Henri Bourassa, Sir Wilfred Laurier and Mackenzie King. There is a large number of pamphlets, addresses and publication, relating specifically to commercial union, continental union, and Canada First; material relating to Goldwin Smith; a typewritten draft of Gregory's projected autobiography, which he never completed; as well as several letter-books, scrapbooks and diaries.
