Biographical SketchIrene Mary Spry (née Biss), economist and historian, was born 28 August 1907 in Standerton, the Transvaal, SouthAfrica, the daughter of Evan E. Biss and Amelia Bagshaw Johnstone. She married Graham Spry (1900-1983) in 1938 andthey had three children, Robin, Richard and Elizabeth (Lib).
Irene Spry’s father was a senior colonial official in the field of education whose career took him from Africa to India andback to Africa again. On the outbreak of war in 1914, Irene and her sister Anne and brother Evan went to live with theiraunt Mary Johnstone in Surrey, England. She received her early education in England, attending the Bournemouth HighSchool for Girls. In 1923 she enrolled at the London School of Economics but after one year, however, transferred toGirton College at the University of Cambridge to read economics. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Cambridgein 1928 and went to Pennsylvania to study for her Masters in Social Research with Professor Susan M. Kingsbury atBryn Mawr College. Her major research project there was a report on “Married Women in Industry without Children”.After graduation in 1929, she weighed offers from different universities but went to the University of Toronto as alecturer in the Department of Political Economy.
iv
During her time in Toronto (1929-1938) Irene began to write and research in the field of economics and work closely withthe department’s rising star, Harold Adams Innis. She also became in the early 1930s one of the founding members ofthe League for Social Reconstruction (LSR), displaying the social awareness and labour sympathies that she hadinherited from her father and developed in the Cambridge Labour Club. She wrote a pamphlet, The Industrial Revolutionin Canada, for the Social Service Council in 1933 and wrote parts of two chapters of the LSR’s Social Planning forCanada (Toronto, 1935). She was promoted to Assistant Professor in 1934 and in that year enrolled as a PhD studentwith Innis. Her thesis topic was water power in Canada and her field research took her on extensive summer trips tonorthern Ontario, western Canada, and the Northwest Territories. Innis also encouraged her to write a volume onhydroelectric power in Canada for the Canadian-American relations series funded by the Carnegie Corporation. Shecompleted neither the volume nor the thesis, however. Instead, she married Graham Spry in 1938 whom she had metthrough the LSR. In accordance with the policies of the university, she had to resign her teaching position on marriage.
Graham and Irene Spry moved to England in 1938 where he went to work for an oil company and later for Sir StaffordCripps. Irene returned to Canada on the outbreak of war in 1939 with their first child, Robin. She worked for the YWCAas an economic advisor for a year before joining the Wartime Prices and Trade Board as an economist (later theCommodity Prices Stabilization Board). After the war, Graham took up an appointment as Agent-General for thegovernment of Saskatchewan in London, and Irene joined him there, establishing Saskatchewan House. During the1950s, Irene became active in the international women’s movement serving as the representative of the FederatedWomen’s Institutes of Canada (FWIC) to the Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW) from 1954 to 1967.In this capacity, she was chair of the executive committee and general purposes committee from 1959 to 1965, and DeputyWorld President of the ACWW from 1968 to 1974. She travelled widely in the 1960s and 1970s on behalf of the ACWWvisiting many of the sixty-five countries with member societies and meeting rural women and homemakers throughoutthe world. Through this activity, she forged a worldwide network of friends and associates.
Irene returned to the pursuit of scholarly research and writing in the late 1950s. In 1957, the government of Saskatchewanasked her to locate documents relating to John Palliser’s exploration of western Canada to commemorate its centennial.She uncovered documents in archives, libraries and private homes throughout the British Isles and developed a lifelonginterest in Palliser and western Canadian history that produced several books and scores of articles in academic andpopular publications. Her research took her to Canada, the United States and even New Zealand in an exhaustive searchfor Palliser manuscripts. Her first book, The Palliser Expedition (Toronto: Macmillan, 1963, reprinted in 1973 and 1995),told the story of the expedition in a narrative style. As its name suggests, The Papers of the Palliser Expedition(Toronto: Champlain Society, 1968), was a collection of documents relating to the expedition. She also edited thememoirs of Peter Erasmus, a Métis guide with Palliser for publication in Buffalo Days and Nights (Calgary: Glenbow-Alberta Institute, 1976).
Graham retired in 1967 and they returned to Canada where Irene began her second academic career as a Visiting Professorat the University of Saskatchewan. They moved to Ottawa the next year and she joined the staff of the University ofOttawa as a Professor of Economics. After her “retirement” in 1973, she continued to teach part-time until early 1980sas Professor Emeritus. She served on the university senate during 1970-1971 and on its Board of Governors from 1973to 1976. During her University of Ottawa years she continued to pursue her twin research interests of economics andhistory, often applying an inter-disciplinary approach. She co-edited Natural Resource Development in Canada: AMulti-disciplinary Seminar (Ottawa: University of Ottawa Press, 1973 ) with Philippe Crabbé and wrote and publishedextensively on economic issues such as rent and royalties, non-renewable resources, demand theory, leisure andconservation. Her historical research evolved outward from Palliser to embrace the economic development of the Prairieprovinces and more specifically the transition from a nomadic to a settled agricultural economy in the nineteenth century.
v
In this respect, she became a central figure in the group of historians working in the emerging field of western Canadianhistory in the 1970s. Irene did not slow down after Graham’s death in 1983, continuing to write articles for journals andbiographies for the Dictionary of Canadian Biography. She co-authored The Records of the Department of the Interior(Regina: Canadian Plains Research Centre, 1993) with Bennett McCardle, essentially a descriptive catalogue of archivalsources. The University of Alberta Press accepted her last book, From the Hunt to the Homestead, on which she hadworked since 1968, shortly before her death in 1998. It has still not appeared in print.
Irene Spry won numerous honours and awards during her lifetime. She received honorary doctorates from the Universityof Toronto in 1971 and the University of Ottawa in 1985. She was awarded the Royal Society of Arts Silver Medal in 1964and made a Member of Honour of the ACWW in 1985. The Seniors’ Group of the University of Regina conferred uponher its Distinguished Canadian Citizen Award in 1987 and she received the Council of Canadians Award in 1991. Shewas made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1993. Karen Shopsowitz produced a film about her life, “Wit and Wisdom:Irene Mary Spry” in 1995. She was also honoured with a festschrift in 1985, Explorations in Canadian EconomicHistory: Essays in Honour of Irene M. Spry and a symposium, published as Social Democracy in Europe: A Model forCanada?, in 1997. She died 16 December 1998 in Ottawa.

vii
offprints, book reviews, conference material, and other documents. Her publishing career spanned seven decades, fromthe early 1930s to the mid-1990s. As a result, the series is an excellent prism through which to view changingdevelopments in the social sciences and Canadian historiography. The files for her articles and papers display the widerange of her research interests which embraced economic theory, hydro-electric development, conservation of naturalresources, the fur trade, exploration and settlement of western Canada, and aboriginal-European relations, to name a fewareas in which she published. The series holds more extensive documentation for her books Natural ResourceDevelopment in Canada: A Multi-Disciplinary Seminar (Ottawa: University of Ottawa Press, 1973), Buffalo Days andNights (Calgary: Glenbow-Alberta Institute, 1976), The Records of the Department of the Interior (Regina: CanadianPlains Research Centre, 1993), and From the Hunt to the Homestead which was accepted for publication by theUniversity of Alberta Press in 1998.

Some other blocks of records include places, friends and relatives, chronology, and assessmentof Palliser’s report. More specifically, these research files hold detailed correspondence with archives and otherinstitutions holding Palliser papers and with the descendants of expedition members and others involved in an effort touncover privately-held historical documents. As a result, the series contains some original documents from the Palliserperiod and photocopies of other documents still in private hands. For example, she obtained from descendants materialbelonging to John Palliser’s grandfather, dating from 1795 to 1822, including a plan of the deer park at DerryluskanHouse, Ireland, and also acquired photocopies of the diary of the artist Mary Severn from the 1840s and 1850s.

Thelengthy world trips of 1962 and 1974 for the ACWW are particularly well documented and offer glimpses of conditionsin the third world. The earlier trip took her to Canada, Australia, Asia and Europe for five months on ACWW businessand Palliser research. The later trip, as Deputy World President of the ACWW, covered Romania, India, Sri Lanka,Australia and Hong Kong. Many of the research trips took her to the archives and museums of western Canada.
