The Centre for Newfoundland Studies Archives holds an extensive collection of original manuscripts, personal papers, diaries, scrapbooks, photographs and other materials which document aspects of Newfoundland and Labrador history. Major collections include material on the arts, labour, women, social organizations and post-Confederation politics. Over the years Riggs has worked to bring attention to the contents of the archives.
