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.

INTRODUCTION
The Violet Archer fonds consist of the professional and personal papers and records of
Violet Balestreri Archer. They include her student records, teaching and career records,
and composition records. In addition, there are records related to her performances,
collected reference materials, correspondence, sound recordings, photographs and
personal papers. The fonds is extensive, very complete, and provides a fascinating
overview of the career and life of an internationally acclaimed composer of music. Dr.
Archer had a long and celebrated career as a professor of music at the University of
Alberta, and the records reflect this, as well as providing a glimpse into her personal
thoughts, struggles, and emotions through the extensive correspondence she maintained
with members of her immediate family.
SOURCE: Violet Archer's records were received at the University of Alberta as a
bequest made by Violet Archer through her will. Ms. Archer had a friendship with Dr.
James Whittle, Librarian, University of Alberta Department of Music and Dr. Whittle
assisted Violet in creating a detailed listing of her compositions and scores.
Compositions housed in her Edmonton home, her Ottawa home, and at the University of
Calgary were included in the list prepared by Dr. Whittle. Upon Violet Archer's death in
Ottawa in February of 2000, the music detailed in the Whittle list, as well as Violet
Archer's extensive archives of textual, sound and photographic documents were
forwarded to the University of Alberta Archives.
ARRANGEMENT NOTE: Violet Archer's music scores and compositions were
received and arranged according to the Whittle listing. However, the remainder of Dr.
Archer's records were not received in any particular order, or with much evidence of
original organization. The contents of her bookshelves, piano bench, basement storage
rooms, etc. were packed into large boxes and shipped to the Archives. The sheer volume
of records received, mixed together in many large boxes, necessitated the imposing of
order by the archivist. Series and sub-series designations were based on the contents of
the records, and a detailed listing was made of the reference material, including imprint,
music written by other than Violet Archer, and the large collection of sound recordings.
The records are in excellent physical shape and provide a very complete picture of the life
of a noted composer, professor of music, and private individual.
RELATED ACCESSIONS: Researchers may wish to consult the records from the
Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Music for the years Professor Archer was a faculty
member (1962-1978).

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Violet Archer was born Violet Balestreri in Montreal on April 24, 1913, the third of four
children, to native Italian parents. Her family chose to anglicize their name to Archer
from Balestreri (Archer is the English translation of the Italian name). Ms. Archer began
her musical training as a pianist, and by 17 years of age had become a professional
accompanist. In 1934, she completed the requirements for the Teacher's Licentiate in
piano at the McGill Conservatory and in 1936 received her Bachelor of Music in
composition and piano, also from McGill University. Two years later, she obtained the
Associate Diploma of the Royal Canadian College of Organists, studying organ with John
Weatherseed. Throughout her years in Montreal, Archer was an active soloist,
accompanist, and private music teacher as well as a percussionist with the Montreal
Women's Symphony under the direction of Ethel Stark. From 1939 to 1947, she was
deputy organist for several Montreal churches.
After finishing her Bachelor of Music degree, Archer continued her studies at McGill,
receiving four scholarships to study composition with Canadian composer Claude
Champagne and with McGill's Dean of Music, Douglas Clarke. In 1940, the Montreal
Symphony Orchestra premiered her composition, Scherzo Sinfonica. Her first published
work was Three Scenes for Piano (Habitant Sketches) by Mercury Music in 1946. She
spent one summer in New York (1942) where she studied composition with Bela Bartok.
In 1947, Ms. Archer won the Bradley Keeler Memorial Scholarship to attend the Yale
School of Music where she was able to pursue graduate studies with Paul Hindemith. She
was awarded additional scholarships from the province of Quebec, and in 1949 was
awarded her Master's degree in composition from Yale School of Music, receiving the
Woods Chandler Prize for composition for her thesis The Bell.
Upon graduation, Archer used her savings to finance a musical tour of post-war Europe.
She had hoped to find a teaching position in London, but was unsuccessful in this pursuit.
Returning to Canada, she taught at McGill Conservatory and then found employment at
three U.S. schools: North Texas State College, where she was Composer-in-Residence
from 1950 to 1953, Cornell University, and the University of Oklahoma, where she was
appointed professor of composition. During her eight year stay in Oklahoma, Archer
received two grants for composition: one to compose at the MacDowell Colony during
the summer of 1956, and the other a grant from the Canada Council for a year's leave to
compose in 1958-9. Violet Archer hosted both a radio program and a television program
while in Oklahoma, providing a platform for discussions of 20th century music. During
this time, she was also involved with sponsoring the student chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota,
and as she had in Texas, starting regional composers' forums for students.
In the summer of 1961, Violet Archer began studies toward a doctorate at the University
of Toronto, but was forced to put this aside in order to nurse her seriously ill mother. In
11
Violet Archer fonds
1962, Richard Eaton, a fellow student from McGill Conservatory, offered Archer a
position with the University of Alberta's Department of Music in Edmonton. Violet
Archer was familiar with the University, as she was a summer school instructor there in
1948 and 1949. In 1962, the Department had a three-year program in music and four
faculty members in the department. By 1967, the four-year Bachelor of Music degree had
been instituted, and in 1971, the first master's degree student was admitted. Violet Archer
headed the theory and composition department and by the time of her retirement from the
University of Alberta in 1978, the music faculty had grown to over thirty. Other
professional activities included work on behalf of the Canadian Folk Music Society, the
Canadian Association of University Schools of Music, and serving as the Western
Canadian representative of the Canadian League of Composers for a number of years. She
established composers' forums for her students; maintained a full schedule of teaching
and composing duties, and formed associations with other musicians who regularly
performed her pieces. Her works were frequently broadcast on CBC programming, and
she had numerous offers for commissions of her works. Archer's early compositions were
orchestral, and she later produced chamber and vocal works. She believed strongly that
poetry inspired music and established a relationship with several poets that involved
setting their poetry to music. Her 335 works also include compositions for choir, organ,
and solo piano. She wrote two operas, over 90 children's works, the film scores to two
Canadian documentaries, and an electronic piece called Episodes. Her last commissioned
composition, completed in 1999, was a work for classical accordion and orchestra.
Dr. Archer was the recipient of countless honors and awards in recognition of her
outstanding achievements. She was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Music from
McGill University in 1971; and received honorary degrees from the University of
Windsor and Mount Allison University in New Brunswick. She was appointed an Officer
of the Order of Canada in 1983; received the Canadian Music Council's Composer of the
Year award in 1984; and in 1987 had the Canadian Music Centre Prairie Region library at
the University of Calgary named after her. Other honors included being inducted into the
Cultural Hall of Fame in Edmonton, and receiving the Sir Frederick Haultain prize for her
contribution to music in 1987. A small ornamental park in Edmonton bears her name, and
a three-day music festival was held in her honor in 1985. Violet Archer's 80th birthday
was celebrated with a gala concert and celebration in 1993, and her departure from
Edmonton in 1998 was also marked with honoring events and a farewell concert.
In May 1998, Violet Archer moved to Ottawa to be closer to her family. She passed away
there on February 21, 2000 at the age of 86.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The Violet Archer fonds span a period of over seventy years, and provide a valuable
record of the composing, research, teaching and life experiences of a noted University
professor and internationally recognized composer of music. The Violet Archer fonds is
unusually complete, with intact records that illustrate both professional and personal
facets of her life.
As noted in the introduction, the Archer records, except for her original compositions and
scores, arrived at the University of Alberta Archives without much evidence of original
order or organization. While her scores and musical compositions had been listed and
numbered by James Whittle, Department of Music librarian at the University of Alberta,
the remainder of her records was transferred in large boxes to the Archives from her
home in Ottawa. Boxes were labeled as coming from her basement, piano bench,
bookshelves, etc. but were pretty mixed in each box. A large volume of the textual
records is comprised of correspondence, and while the correspondence tended to be
boxed together, within any single box would be a range of letters spanning any number of
years. Correspondence from the 1950's was interspersed with correspondence from the
1990's. Each letter appeared to be methodically opened with a letter opener, read, and
returned to the envelope (even Christmas and birthday cards were returned to their
envelopes). Other like records were often boxed together; teaching files in single boxes,
and boxes containing books, others with sound recordings, etc., providing the only
evidence of extant original order. The large volume of records received, however,
essentially loose and unorganized, necessitated the imposing of order by the archivist.
Two large series were determined, that of professional and personal papers, and several
sub-series delineated within each of these two series.
Series one, Professional and Career-related papers, are the largest of the two series and
are organized into several sub-series. The sub-series designations are based on the
contents of the records, and often chronological in terms of order within each sub-series.
Within Series one is student records (Archer as student); teaching records, chronicling her
years on faculty at North Texas State College, the University of Oklahoma, and the
University of Alberta; correspondence files; composing records; and reference records.
The sub-series are substantial in size, and provide a wealth of information about Archer's
professional life. Within the correspondence files, there is outgoing and incoming
chronologically arranged correspondence, letters with identified individuals, reference
letters, correspondence with associations and organizations, and publishing project and
music dealer correspondence. The composition and composing sub-series of records is
further organized into performing rights organization records, music publishers contracts
and correspondence, conference and workshop records, performances, honors and
awards, and original Archer compositions. The sub-series of reference material is also
extensive, and includes listings of the imprint, books, music by other composers, and a
13
Violet Archer fonds
collection of sound recordings maintained by Archer. Of especial significance, are the
files of original Archer scores and compositions. A significant number of her
compositions are represented in these holdings, and provide evidence about the steps and
processes involved in creating a piece of music from manuscript beginnings to a final
published piece of music.
Series two, Violet Archer's personal papers, while much smaller in extent than Series one,
provide a fascinating glimpse of the person behind the public persona of professor and
composer. Her personal correspondence files, particularly the incoming and outgoing
correspondence with her younger sister Carolyn, document the emotions, struggles,
triumphs and challenges she faces as a woman functioning in a very male-dominated field
and time period. Carolyn is the one person that Violet freely confides in, and she shares
thoughts, feelings, and philosophies with her sister that are only touched upon in the other
records housed in the fonds. Rounding out the personal records in Series two are other
correspondence files, financial records, insurance records, artwork, and a large
photographic sub-series.
The Violet Archer fonds provide numerous research opportunities. Students of music
history, composition, and theory will find the records valuable, as well as individuals
interested in researching a woman's career path in pre-and post-second world war North
American society. There are records related to the music scene in both the U.S. and
Canada, letters exchanged with well-known musicians, colleagues, writers and students;
and many documents associated with the music publishing industry. The growth of the
University of Alberta's music department is documented in the records, as is the growth
of Canadian music organizations. The completeness, extent, and condition of the Violet
Archer fonds ensure its strong informational and evidential research value.

Series 1
Professional Papers
1. Violet Archer, Professional and Career Papers. --1902-2000; predominant 19252000.--26 m of textual records, 750 sound recordings, and 18 video cassettes.
Archival Description: Series I is a large series of textual and other records that
document the professional career of a significant composer, educator, musician, and
Professor of Music. The records are in excellent physical shape, and illustrate Archer's
professional musical activities from her days as a student through to her composing and
teaching activities that continued throughout the 1990's. The bulk of the series is
comprised of textual records, which includes extensive correspondence files, teaching
notes files, student assignments, and organizational records. The series and sub-series
designations were supplied by the archivist, and based on the content of the records. Dr.
James Whittle prepared a listing of the Archer compositions and scores.
Scope and Content: The bulk of the Archer records comprise Series I. Because the
series designation is both broad and general, the records within this series are further
organized into the following five sub-series: Student Records; Teaching Records;
Correspondence Files; Composition and Composing Records; and Reference Material.
Within each sub-series designation, other headings are delineated to further assist in
organizing the records. The earliest records include published material in Violet Archer's
reference material collection; early published music books, scores, and textbooks were
preserved by Archer for use in her own composing and teaching activities. The smallest
sub-series is the Student records (Archer as student), but includes original correspondence
between Archer and her famous teachers: Bela Bartok and Paul Hindemith. Teaching
records include material from every institution Archer taught at, including the seminar
and workshop sessions she led. The correspondence files are very complete; Archer
apparently saved most of her letters, as well as her music publishing contracts, press
clippings, and any documents related to her career. The Series 1 records form a very
complete picture of Violet Balestreri Archer's professional life.
The series title is based on the contents of the records.
A file listing follows.

Personal Papers
2. Violet Archer, Personal Papers, --1925-2000, 2.20 m of textual records and other
material.
Archival Description: The records in this series are primarily textual and photographic
in format, and in excellent physical shape. Much of the series consists of correspondence
between Violet Archer and family members, particularly her sister Carolyn. Violet and
her sister corresponded on a weekly basis from the 1940's until Carolyn's death in 1975.
Both sets of correspondence (incoming and outgoing) between Violet and her sister are
retained in this series, as well as letters Violet received from other family members
including her mother, two brothers, and many nieces and nephews. The series also
contains correspondence Violet maintained with friends and colleagues, taking the form
of Christmas greetings, personal notes, postcards and cards. Personal financial and
insurance records are retained in this series, as well as a small collection of artwork and
over 2400 photographic images.
Scope and Content: The material in Series 2 highlights the very important role family
played in Violet Archer's life. While often living some distance from family members
because of school and then teaching commitments, Violet maintained a strong connection
with her family through her regular correspondence. The letters written to and received
from, her sister Carolyn, provide an especially powerful and personal glimpse into the
feelings, emotions, struggles and triumphs Violet experienced as a developing musician,
composer, and professor of music. Financial and insurance records include income tax
returns for many years, and insurance policies related to her home, work, and possessions
including her fur coat. The artwork represented in this series is small and somewhat
ephemeral, but is interesting in the perspective it provides about the artistic interests of
Violet. Finally, the more than 2400 photographic images are a further testimony to the
importance family, friends, colleagues, teachers, and her own students played in Violet
Archer's life.
Includes 2.20 m of textual records, 20 items of art work, 2420 photographic images, and 2
reels of microfilm.
The series title is based on the content of the records.
A file listing follows.
