Biographical history

Elizabeth Dundas Long was a Canadian journalist and broadcaster who was head of the Women's Talks Department at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on October 10, 1891, Long was educated at the University of Manitoba where she received her Master of Arts in English Poetry. In 1920 she began working as Reporter of Women's Activities for the Winnipeg Tribune and in 1922 became Editor of the Social and Women's Department at the Winnipeg Free Press. Long worked there until 1926 when she became Associate Editor of the Free Press Prairie Farmer. In 1938 Long joined the CBC, the first woman to be hired by the corporation in an executive capacity, as head of women's interests. She later worked as special advisor to the CBC on women's interests until her retirement in 1956. During this time, and in her retirement years, she held many positions such as Vice President of the International Council of Women. Long died in 1978.

Clippings and biographical information about Canadian engineer Elizabeth Gregory MacGill. Includes a clipping of The American Soroptimist article "Soroptimist of the Month: High Flying Designer", a heavily underlined clipping from an unknown publication, and a typescript biography about MacGill's life. Included is a page torn from an unknown publication with an article by MacGill about her mother Helen Gregory MacGill.

Also in the file is an incomplete manuscript letter to Elizabeth Long on Valance Patriarche letterhead from Victoria [British Columbia]. The letter may have been written by Betty Patriarche and includes details about the relationships between Helen Gregory MacGill and various families, including the Patriarches and Miles O'Reilly Jarvis, some of whom are mentioned in a biography written about Helen by Elizabeth. A typescript note included in the file to the Librarian from Elizabeth Long indicates that material regarding MacGill's biography of her mother should be "handled with extreme discretion until about 1980", may be referring to the contents of the Patriache letter.
