The fonds is comprised of textual and digital records reflecting the artistic practice and community activism of Carole Condé and Karl Beveridge over a 40 year period. The textual and photographic material spans from the 1970's until 2010, and encompasses the artists participation in the Toronto community predominantly, but also the art and activist community of New York City in the 1960's and 70s. The records reflect both the practice of the artists through individual art projects and commissioned work, as well as their participation and activity with various groups, locals, unions, institutions, organizations, committees, or festivals such as Mayworks, The Ontario Workers Arts and Heritage Centre, The Canadian Labour Congress, the Independant Artists Union (IAU). The electronic records predominantly reflect their evolving artistic practice. The artists have digitized many of the components and products of their early works which are in evidence in the textual files. Earlier works, while represented in the electronic record, are merely an alternate format for the finished works and components and are not as detailed a record of the creative process of the artists as the more contemporary files created entirely through a digital process which the artists moved over to in 2000. The fonds is arranged in the following series: Artist groups and organizations; Correspondence; Art Jobs; Art Business; Banners; Sculpture; Art Projects; Studio documentation and Press morgue.
