Historia administrativa
Kingston This Week is a free, weekly, community- based newspaper founded in the early 1970s as the Kingston News. It was renamed the Shoppers News and then, with an expanded editorial department, became Kingston This Week by 1980.
The newspaper is owned by Sun Media, which is in turn owned by the media conglomerate Quebecor Inc. [Note: the English newspapers owned by Sun Media, including KTW, were sold to Postmedia in October 2014; as of Dec 2014, regulatory approval is still pending].
Historial de custodia
Alcance y contenido
Fonds consists of photographic negatives along with contact prints, photographs, and some supporting textual records created by Kingston This Week staff photographers between 1986 and 2001. The photographs were taken of Kingston-area events and local people. From 1986 to October 1998, the files consist of black and white negatives along with contact prints and, in some cases, enlarged photographic prints. The negatives in sleeves were stapled to the contact sheets, where produced. In October 1998, colour photography was adopted and the film was processed professionally by an outside company (Camera Kingston). The prints and negatives were then stored together in envelopes. The newspaper moved to digital photography by early 2000 fewer prints were made and, by 2001, the files include black and white reproductions of photographs on plain paper with cutlines and other identifying information attached to the sheets. The fonds is arranged in three large series: Negatives series, consisting of black and white negatives, along with contact sheets, prints, and cutlines in some instances dating from 1986 (with one file from 1985) to October 1998; Binders series, containing negatives dating from 1986 to 1998 which were arranged alphabetically by subject in binders; and Colour photography series, consisting of photographic negatives and prints dating from October 1998 to 2000 and then reproductions from digital files printed on plain paper, with cutlines, dating from ca. 2000-2001.

The photographs were transferred to the archives in boxes and in binders, organized by date. There were two groupings of the boxes from 1986-1998 and then from 1998 on and these may have been two separate accessions. Within the boxes they were grouped together with elastic bands or cardboard dividers. The later, colour photographs (from October 1998 on) were stored in cardfile boxes. The binders created in the 1990s (which include photographs dating from 1986 to 1997) were arranged by subject. The arrangement of the photographs changed over time. For images dating from 1986 to September 1987 the negatives were arranged alphabetically by subject within this date range. Between October 1987 and December 1989 the negatives were arranged by month but were not given any internal arrangement beyond that. For photographs taken from 1990 on the negatives were typically been arranged chronologically by month and then alphabetically. In some cases, photographs of certain subjects were given their own files or binders. In some instances, earlier negatives were included in later files with photographs of the same subject or event. This arrangement was maintained when it made sense to do so (ie when it appeared that earlier photographs were used in print at a later date). In situations where the images appear to have been misfiled, the archivist placed them in the proper order. Loose photographs and unlabeled negatives were placed at the end of the files.
