PREFACE
The University of Alberta Archives was established in 1968 at the recommendation of the
President’s Standing Committee on Archives and Documents. Its primary mandate is to
acquire, maintain, and preserve the records of the University, in any medium, which
contain continuing administrative, legal, and historical value. The Archives constitutes
the official “memory” of the University and represents the accumulated experience of our
educational community. In addition to these official records, the University Archives also
contain the private papers of the University staff whose subjects of research and teaching
encompass the world.

J. Peter Meekison Fonds
INTRODUCTION
The J. Peter Meekison fonds consist of records created and collected by Professor
Meekison, and subsequently donated to the University of Alberta Archives. They
document both his teaching and administrative career at the University of Alberta as well
as his administrative career in the field of constitutional affairs with the Alberta
Provincial Department of Federal and Intergovernmental Affairs and his role as
Commissioner on the Royal Commission of Aboriginal Peoples. The papers are extensive
and form a valuable addition to the holdings of the University’s archives.
SOURCE: The J. Peter Meekison records were received as two separate personal
donations to the Archives from Professor Meekison; one smaller set of papers donated in
1991 and the bulk of his papers received as a second donation in 1996. Both donations
have been brought together in one comprehensive finding-aid and assigned accession
#96-50.
ARRANGEMENT NOTE: The Meekison records are arranged in four series and
include papers related to his academic career as Department Chairman of Political
Science and Vice-President (Academic) at the University of Alberta, as well as papers
documenting quite broadly his expansive professional administrative career. One series is
designated ‘Constitutional Material’, and is arranged as originally organized by Dr.
Meekison and his staff using a color-file designation plan. This particular series also
contains records related to the Senate Reform Task Force and the Meech Lake Accord
meetings. The final series contains material related to J. Peter Meekison’s role as a
Commissioner on the Royal Commission of Aboriginal Peoples (1992-1995), including
meeting minutes and reports, briefing books, submissions, and background and resource
materials.
The records are in good physical shape.
RELATED ACCESSIONS: Department of Political Science records are described in
Record Group 41 and Vice-President (Academic) records are described in Record Group
8.
ACCESS: The J. Peter Meekison records are open for research.
EXTENT: 28 m of textual records

BIOGRAPHY
J. Peter Meekison was born in Vancouver, British Columbia on January 13th, 1937, and
received his early education in Vancouver Public Schools. He received his undergraduate
education at the University of British Columbia, obtaining a Bachelor of Applied Science
degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1959, and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and
Political Science in 1961. While attending the University of British Columbia, he served
as President of the UBC Alma Mater Society in 1960 and 1961. He went on to earn an
MA in Political Science from the University of Western Ontario in 1962, and a Ph.D in
Political Science in 1965 from Duke University.
Dr. Meekison joined the University of Alberta's Department of Political Science as
Assistant Professor in 1967, was made Associate Professor in 1969, and Professor on July
1st, 1973. He chaired the department from 1972 to 1974, and served as a Visiting
Professor at the University of British Columbia for the summer of 1973. From 1971 to
1972 he was Associate Dean in the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research at the U of
A, and served as Vice-President (Academic) from 1984 to 1991. Dr. Meekison held the
position of Balzberg Chair in Constitutional Law at the Faculty of Law from 1991 to
1994. On July 1st, 1992 he was granted the rank of University Professor from the
University of Alberta.
Peter Meekison took a ten-year leave of absence from the University of Alberta (19741984) to devote his time to constitutional affairs with the Alberta Provincial Department
of Federal and Inter-Governmental Affairs. He was Deputy Minister of the department
from 1977 to 1984, and had responsibility for maintaining and furthering the relationship
between the province and the federal government.
During the 1978-1981 constitutional negotiations, Dr. Meekison developed and prepared
the formula, tabled by Alberta, which ultimately became the amending formula in the
Constitution Act for 1982. As constitutional adviser to the government, he was actively
involved in the Meech Lake Accord (1987) discussions and the discussions leading to the
1992 Charlottetown Accord.
In 1993, J. Peter Meekison was appointed a Commissioner of the Royal Commission on
Aboriginal Peoples (established in 1992). He served with the Commission until its
completed five volume report was published in 1996.
Dr. Meekison retired as University Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the
University of Alberta in June 1996. He was made an Officer of the Order of Canada and
is a recipient of the 125th Anniversary of Canada Medal and the Lieutenant Governor’s
Medal for Excellence in Public Administration for the Province of Alberta.
Dr. Meekison served as the public administrator for Okanagan University College
overseeing its transformation to the UBC Okanagan and Okanagan College. A plan to
6
J. Peter Meekison
create and name a student centre at UBC Okanagan in Dr. Meekison’s honor was
announced in November 2005. This gift recognizes Peter Meekison’s many contributions
to student life at UBC.
J. Peter Meekison is currently an adjunct professor of political science at the University of
Victoria.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The Peter Meekison fonds document the professional career of an important teacher,
researcher, and administrator who had a distinguished career with both the University of
Alberta and the Provincial Government of Alberta for a period spanning nearly thirty
years. His records contain material relating to both his teaching and administrative career
at the University of Alberta, his work related to constitutional affairs for the Province of
Alberta, and his role as a Commissioner on the Royal Commission on Aboriginal
Peoples.
The records, largely textual, have been arranged according to four fairly broad series. The
first series contains records related to Professor Meekison’s academic pursuits, and
include some of his student notes while in the Ph.D program at Duke University and his
teaching and administrative files from the University of Alberta. Included with the UofA
files are teaching and research files, Vice-President (Academic) administrative files, and
files related to special projects, programs, and committees Dr. Meekison was committed
to while at the University.
The second series contains material related more generally to Peter Meekison’s
professional career, which is relevant to both his research interests at the University, and
his work with the Provincial Government. There are correspondence files, sorted into the
Department of Federal and Intergovernmental Affairs chronological files, general
correspondence files, and ‘people’ correspondence files. As well, this series contains
records related to Meekison’s involvement with various professional associations and
committees, his speaking engagements and attendance at conferences and workshops, and
his writing and publication activities. Subject reference files maintained by Professor
Meekison are included in this series, as well as his personal appointment books.
Series three consists of Peter Meekison’s Constitutional material and is arranged
according to an original color-coded file scheme applied when the files were current. The
color-coded files include reports, briefing books, transcripts, and issues files related to
various First Minister meetings, and committee meetings surrounding the constitutional
reform discussions. Many of these files were created while Peter Meekison was Minister
of Alberta Federal and Inter-Governmental Affairs and relate to the amending of the
Constitution Act in 1982. A set of coded files is included in this series which addresses
non-Constitutional issues his Ministry was dealing with. In his capacity as constitutional
adviser to the provincial government post 1984, there is material related to the Senate
Reform Task Force meetings, and the constitutional committee work leading to the
Meech Lake Accord discussions and the 1992 Charlottetown Accord. Included in this
series are numerous constitutional background material files which provide further insight
into the constitutional process and debate.

J. Peter Meekison
The final series consists of very complete records retained by Peter Meekison in his
capacity as a Commissioner on the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP).
The Commission was struck in 1992, and Meekison appointed to it in 1993. Included in
the records are meeting minutes and documents, Intervener Participatory Program (IPP)
submissions to the Commission, reports prepared for and by the Commission; policy
team records, and background and reference files.
The records are in excellent physical shape and because of their completeness and the
broad span of years represented, provide valuable insight into issues facing Alberta and
Canada in the 1980’s and 1990’s, as well as documenting University activities during this
period and earlier.

Series 3
CONSTITUTIONAL MATERIAL
3. Constitutional Material, --1950-1992; predominant 1967-1992. –9.3 m of textual
records.
Archival Description: Series 3 consists of J. Peter Meekison’s constitutional material,
documenting his role as Minister of the Alberta Government Department of Federal and
Inter-Governmental Affairs, and his subsequent work as a Constitutional Adviser for the
Alberta Government. The records are textual, with one video tape recording, and are in
excellent physical condition. The arrangement of the records is essentially chronological,
with an original file plan followed for organizing a large section of the earlier records
found in this series.
Scope and Content: Series three consists of Peter Meekison’s Constitutional material
and is further arranged within four sub-series. The first sub-series is arranged according
to an original color-coded file scheme applied when the files were current. The colorcoded files include briefing books, ‘process and position’ files, administrative
arrangements, transcripts, reports and news articles, etc. related to various First Minister
meetings, and committee meetings surrounding the constitutional reform discussions.
Many of these files were created while Peter Meekison was Minister of Alberta Federal
and Inter-Governmental Affairs and relate to the amending of the Constitution Act in
1982. A set of coded files is included in this series which addresses non-Constitutional
issues his Ministry was dealing with. In his capacity as constitutional adviser to the
provincial government post 1984, there is material related to the Senate Reform Task
Force meetings, and the constitutional committee work leading to the Meech Lake
Accord discussions and the 1992 Charlottetown Accord. Included in this series are
numerous constitutional background material files which provide further insight into the
constitutional process and debate, and numbered documents related to the 1992
Constitutional Accord.
File titles were derived from original file titles.
A file listing follows.
