Friends of the CAMH Archives Verified listing

The Friends of the Archives is a separately incorporated charitable organization of hospital volunteers, linked through CAMH's Volunteer Services Office to the Corporate Archives.
We began more than a quarter-century ago, originally as The Museum of Mental Health Services (Toronto) Inc., to support archival and heritage programs at the Queen Street site.  Since the 1998 CAMH merger, our focus has broadened to support archival and historical activities for mental health (including addiction) programs at all CAMH sites.

Archival Research Awards Program -
Supporting archival research since 2000 through our annual Awards' program is the Friends' principal charitable activity.  Through an annual juried competition, we help to enable archives-based research projects in the history of psychiatry and other mental health services in Canada. 
For further information, please see application details outlined on the back page of every Newsletter edition.  A brief synopsis of each year's selected projects is outlined in the Spring edition.
