Acknowledgements

In the writing of Fifty Years The Queen, the authors owe a great debt of gratitude to Kirk Howard, Chairman, and the other Trustees of the Canadian Royal Heritage Trust/Fonds du patrimoine royal du Canada for allowing them full access to the Trust’s important collection of books, pictures, newspapers, scrap books and manuscripts (in particular the Rhea and Ron Anger, M. Ida New and Carl L. Shain collections) and for permitting them to reproduce many items from it. Several volunteer members of the Trust staff also generously assisted them in their work. They would in particular like to acknowledge the help of Claudia Willetts, Trust Librarian; Helen McNeil, Trust Archivist; Charles W. Clark; H. Kent Jackson; Barbara Kemp; Jane Wachna; and W. Mackenzie Youngs. Assistance of the staff of Monarchy Canada Magazine is also gratefully recorded.

Permission to use the official Golden Jubilee emblem was graciously given by the Golden Jubilee Office.

As with their previous books, the authors received much help from Richard Toporoski of the University of St Michael’s College in matters constitutional, historical and social. Dr Toporoski also allowed them to use some of his pictures. A similar debt is owed to Lisa Mitchell who placed her collection of commemoratives of the Queen at their disposal, photographed the items from it that they chose to use as well as other pieces and assisted them with her extensive knowledge of this field. She also allowed them to use her own pictures of royal tours and royal occasions. For this expenditure of time and effort they are truly grateful.

The authors also wish to thank: John L. Aimers, Dominion Chairman and Founder of The Monarchist League of Canada, for permitting them to reproduce Her Majesty The Queen’s approval of the drawing of the League’s arms and for other help; Rev’d Harold Logan for supplying a difficult to obtain photograph; Alan Ho, Manager of Motophoto at 2674 Yonge Street, Toronto, for his careful processing of numerous rolls of film; Gordon Schmidt of Hanover for giving permission to reproduce the unique painting of the 1957 opening of Parliament by the Queen which is on loan to the Canadian Royal Heritage Museum at the Diefenbaker Birthplace in Neustadt, Ontario; and H. Kent Jackson for the loan of items from his collection of royal memorabilia.
