Scope and content

Fonds consists of records from Skarstedts various writing and publishing activities, as well as her personal life. The records contained in this fonds span Skarstedt's years as a secondary student up until the end of her life in 2009.

Fonds consists of six series: Correspondence (1926-2005), Diaries (1977-1999), Notebooks (1946 - 1987), Artwork (1980 - [after 1996]), Photographs (1973 - [ca. 1995]), Manuscripts and Poems (1975 - 2005). The fonds encompasses analog and written communication (printed off e-mails) from Skarstedt

Physical condition

Immediate source of acquisition

Material was donated by Sonja's widow, Geof Isherwood, to the Mount Saint Vincent University Archives in February, 2011.

Arrangement

Original order was maintained with most of the correspondence. Some of Skarstedt's manuscripts were incorporated into the Empyreal Press Fonds and Zymergy Fonds. Because Skarstedt self-published, layouts for her titles were kept with the Empyreal Press fonds.
