Bestandsgeschichte
Eingrenzung und Inhalt
The fonds consists of correspondence, press clippings, speeches, articles, diaries, scrapbooks, reports photographs, sound recordings and a large collection of political cartoons. The material covers the period from his earliest American accountancy training in 1923 through his professional career and public career as Auditor General of Canada 1960 to 1973 to his present interests. It is in his role as watch dog and critic of government spending that Mr. Henderson is best known and the major part of the fonds is concerned with this role. Mr. Henderson's frank and articulate comments and criticisms of government expenditures and procedures aroused public interest and conflict with the government, especially that of Prime Minister Trudeau. These aspects are well represented in the fonds, along with Mr. Henderson's significant, but less visible, international accounting work.

Donated by Mr. Maxwell Henderson - 1993
Ordnung und Klassifikation
A portion of Maxwell Henderson's papers were organized at Queen's University Archives in 1989 and the complete fonds, 14 m, was donated in 1993. Mr. Henderson had carefully kept and organized his papers throughout his career. In 1984 Mr. Henderson published his autobiography, "Plain Talk", and the organization and notes from that work are evident in his papers. The papers were transported from his summer home in Georgian Bay and his Toronto home to Queen's University Archives in July 1993 and reboxed and arranged there. In his collection of political cartoons, 55 were framed under glass and numbers 56 to 95 were matted for their display at the Arts and Letters Club of Toronto and had been stored at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
