This small collection contains some of the records of the Canadian Salt Fish Corporation of which Aidan Maloney was president and includes correspondence between Maloney and the Canadian Corporation. There are minutes of the Board of Directors, balance sheets, and reports. There is also material related to the groundfish industry, the lobster fishery, the Trepassey fish pland, and the dispute between the Petty Harbour Fishermen's Committee and the Bay Bulls Fishermen's Committee. Maloney was a member of the committee which organized the celebration of the 200th Anniversary of the Roman Catholic Church in Newfoundland. Part of this celebration was a visit by Pope John Paul II to Newfoundland in September 1984. This collection contains detailed records of the organization of this event including minutes, correspondence, and various reports. Together with the fisheries material they provide some insight into Maloney's career and volunteer activitis. The collection should prove worthwhile to many and varied research interests.
