Joseph E. Seagram and Sons, Ltd. fonds.

This fonds contains originals and copies of correspondence, legal instruments, licenses, manuscripts, photographs, ephemera, plans, reports, and topical files relating to the early history of the Seagram Company to 1911, and from its incorporation in 1911 to 1928, when it was purchased by the Bronfman family. The records of Joseph E. Seagram and Sons, Ltd., actually stretch beyond the 1928 date, as many records emanate from the Waterloo plant and document certain of its activities to the 1950's and 1960's. The sousfonds contains information about the incorporation of the company under its various names, on imports and exports of alcohol to and from the plant, on registration of labels, and on subsidiary operations such as feed stuffs. It also includes information about the distillery site itself, in the form of topical files, reports, plans and photographs. Information on local history is also present, as the Seagram family and company figured largely in local business, political and social circles.

Label Approvals and Product Registration.

This file contains looseleaf pages on which labels and neck strips are pasted and which are annotated with Customs and Exise registration information and/or authority from original distiller. These pages are in two sizes and probably originated from different sources. The smaller pages have been re-pasted to larger pages and annotated; some have "A. Dawe, JES & Sons" on verso. They appear to have come from binders kept at the Waterloo plant to record label and product registration dates and numbers.
