The collection covers the years 1959 to 1987 and consists of personal records, Xhignesse's thesis, teaching material, notes, publications, seminars given and attended, committees and projects, the University of Regina "Plain Talk" series, and the reel-to-reel audio tapes, video tapes, and card catalogue from the Social Studies Laboratory. The collection as it was originally received appeared to be a combination of Xhignesse's papers and the contents of the Social Studies
aboratory. A major part of the material from the Social Studies Lab has been deaccessioned: sections of the original card catalogue that duplicated each other; the publications (these titles are listed in the card catalogue; and some of the audio and video tapes. The audio and video tapes that were deaccessioned were either commercial tapes or CBC tapes that are already held by the National Archives: those tapes that remain in the collection are either original tapes relating to the University of Regina or CBC tapes that are not held by the National Archives. It was decided that the CBC tapes, although not original material, are significant enough in their documentation of Canadian life and culture that they should be kept.
