Series 3: Course notes

1947-1955, 0.06 m.

B1994-0016

/002(01)-(09)

Dr. Ostry obtained a BA (hons.) in economics in 1948 and her MA

in 1950, both from McGill University. Her PhD, which she was

awarded in 1954, was from Cambridge University and McGill.

This small series contains a term paper from her fourth year

undergraduate program; a folder of notes on books on economics

related to her graduate work; and course notes (1950-1951) for

courses at Cambridge taught by Professors Boulding, Dobb,

Hobsbawm, Kaldor, and Robinson.

There are also two folders of memorabilia, one consisting of

material relating to her college at Cambridge, Girton College

(1950-1951) and the other containing programs for plays, art

exhibitions, and operas that she attended (1951-1955).

Series 4: Employment files

1949-1989, 1.18 metres

Dr. Ostry has had a distinguished career as an economist, first

as a lecturer and professor at McGill University and the

Université de Montréal, then as a federal civil servant, and

most recently as Director of the Centre for International

Relations at the University of Toronto.

The files at the beginning of this series consist largely of

correspondence and relate to the first thirty years of her

career, from her first years as an instructor at McGill until

she left the position of Chairman of the Economic Council of

Canada in 1979.

During the 1980s, she held three important economic portfolios.

From 1979-1983 she served as head of the Department of Economics

and Statistics of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and

Development. She then became (1984-1985) Deputy Minister,

International Trade, and from 1985-1988 she served as Ambassador

for Multilateral Trade Negotiations and Prime Minister

Mulroney's Personal Representative for the Economic Summit.

Series IV: Employment files (cont’d)

In the last position, she was described as "the sherpa of

international summits and Canada's top shooter with the GATT"

and, in her own words, was "responsible for the substance of the

summit," especially those at Tokyo (1986) and Toronto (1988).

This "involves a meshing of domestic policies covering the

policy scope of three major multinational institutions -- the

International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the General

Agreement on Tariffs and Trade [GAAT] -- as well as the annual

ministerial meetings of the Organization for Economic Co-

operation and Development [OECD]."

The files assembled during this decade form the bulk of this

series. They consist of correspondence (including telexes) and

memoranda (often in the form of faxes), notes, articles and

press clippings, working files, and reports of committees. The

inter-relationship of the records is very complex, and the

arrangement has been left largely as Dr. Ostry set it up.

At the end of this series are files on regional trading blocks

which are arranged by topic as labelled by Dr. Ostry. Two areas

covered are particularly significant. The first comprises the

negotiations leading up to the European Community's 1992 single

market plan, known as "Europe 1992". The second, described by

Dr. Ostry as "multinational enterprise" files, address issues of

strategy and technology.

Series 6: Research files

1948-1977, 0.25 m.

Over the years Dr. Ostry assembled notes, papers presented by

individuals other than herself, memoranda, articles, pamphlets,

and reports that she used as background material for her own

research and teaching.

This series begins with correspondence on research grant

applications, followed by files of notes and pamphlets on

various aspects of economics, including immigration, collective

bargaining, unionization, and wage rates. It ends with copies

of papers (usually mimeographed) presented by colleagues and

others at conferences and other professional gatherings between

1956 and 1977. These are filed by author, amongst who are S. D.

Clark, Harry S. Crowe, Steven F. Kaliski, Simon Rottenberg, and

Ajit Singh.

The records are contained in boxes 010, files (07) - (21) and

011, files (01) - (19).

Series 7: Lecture notes

1953-64, 0.59 m.

Dr. Ostry began the academic portion of her career at McGill

University in 1948 with a graduate assistant-ship. In 1951 she

was appointed as a sessional lecturer in the Department of

Economics and Political Science and held the position of

lecturer from 1953 to 1955. She was also a lecturer at Sir

George Williams University from 1948 to 1950 and from 1951 to

1954. She rejoined McGill University as an assistant professor

in 1958 and during the academic year 1958-1959 was also a

visiting lecturer at Carleton University. In 1962 she accepted

the position of associate professor in economics at the

Université de Montréal.

The lecture notes in this series are arranged by courses within

the appropriate academic institution, where this is known. A

file may also contain material about similar courses taught in

other institutions. The material relating to a particular

course is filed chronologically where possible. A file may

contain lecture notes and related material such as course

outlines, reading lists, memoranda, lists of students, term

papers and, occasionally, correspondence.

Series 8: Addresses

1960-1997, 1.76 m.

Dr. Ostry was much in demand at academic conferences, at

conferences and meetings related to her work as a senior civil

servant, and as an guest speaker at meetings of professional and

community associations. While requests were often turned down

in later years, due a very full official schedule, she still

made time to appear at many functions, especially those in which

she had a personal interest.

The addresses in these files are arranged chronologically by

date. A file may contain a draft (or drafts) or the address

indicated and other(s) on the same topic that are not dated,

related correspondence, and some background research material.

From 1988 to June, 1990, when this series ends, Dr. Ostry made

dozens to appearances at official government functions and other

events, and only for the more important ones did she prepare a

full text. Many of the files in B1994-0016 for these years

contain only correspondence and notes. There are also two files

for 1988 containing notes only that Dr. Ostry had not identified

with particular addresses

A list of addresses, from 1970 to the end of 1997, appears in

Appendix A. Only a few addresses in this series are missing

from that list, and a small number are present that were not

included in it.

B1994-0016

/001P- This series contains photoprints, photonegatives,

002P posters, and (mounted) cartoons that were assembled

over many years. The posters and some of the

photoprints have been removed from other series; these

items are described in those series as being filed "in

box /001P" or other box, as appropriate. The

remaining photographs relate mostly to specific events

related to a particular position held by Dr. Ostry,

and are so described.

The photographic images document many aspects of Dr.

Ostry's life and career. There are, of course,

photographs of her, family and friends, usually

informal and often amusing, including one of her

perched on a camel. More formal images document her

career as an academic and as a senior civil servant,

especially her positions as Chief Statistician of

Canada and Chairman of the Economic Council of Canada.

Her years with the OECD and her involvement in the

multilateral trade negotiations--the ongoing GATT

conferences, the Summit meetings, and the Group of

Thirty meetings--are also well represented. The

locations range from the White House in Washington to

Brussels where the Group of Thirty met in 1991 and for

which there is a album of photoprints.

There are two mounted presentation copies of cartoons,

both bearing the signatures of her colleagues and

serving as commentaries on the vicissitudes of

international politics. One, from 1987 and entitled

"The Mirage", depicts Brian Mulroney on a life raft

labelled `Cairns Group' (the mirage is the next

meeting scheduled for Venice); the second, a Far Side

cartoon, portrays two people emerging from underground

shelter to the devastation brought by a nuclear war,

with one exclaiming, "Thank God, Sylvia, we're alive".
