Biographical sketch
John Wendell Holmes (JWH), diplomat, administrator, educator, and writer, was born in London,
Ontario, on 18 June 1910 to William Wendell Holmes and Helen Morton. He received his BA from
the University of Western Ontario and his MA from the University of Toronto and thereafter
pursued graduate studies at the University of London (England). From 1941 to 1943 he was
national secretary of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs.
In 1943 Holmes joined Canada’s Department of External Affairs. While in the foreign
service he was first secretary in London, England, chargé d’affaires in Moscow, acting Canadian
representative to the United Nations in New York, External Affairs member of the directing staff at
the National Defence College (Kingston), and assistant under-secretary of state for external
affairs supervising the work of the Far Eastern, United Nations, and Commonwealth Divisions.
In 1960 he left the public service to become president (a title later changed to director
general) of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs (CIIA). He relinquished that position in
1973 but remained associated with the Institute as counsellor until his death.
Holmes was a special lecturer (1962, 1963) and a visiting professor of international
relations at the University of Toronto (1966-1988), a professor of international relations at
Glendon College, York University (1971-1982), and a visiting professor at the University of Leeds
(1979, 1985).
Holmes was the author of numerous articles and book chapters as well as several books:
Some Aspects of Mediation (1970), The Better Part of Valour (1970), Canada: A Middle-Aged
Power (1976), The Shaping of Peace: Canada and the Search for World Order 1943-1957 (2
vols. 1979 & 1982), Life with Uncle: the Canadian-American Relationship (1981).
In 1969 Holmes was made an officer of the Order Canada. In 1977 he became a Fellow
of the Royal Society of Canada and in 1986 received the society’s Tyrrell medal. He was the
recipient of eleven honorary degrees, an honorary fellow of Trinity College (1983), and a member
of Pickering College’s Class of 1842.
He died on 13 August 1988 in London, Ontario.
Scope and content
The fonds consists of textual material and photographs. Much of the material relates to articles,
speeches, books, book chapters, radio/television scripts, and book reviews written by JWH in the
areas of Canadian foreign policy and international organization. As well, there is material relating
to conferences and seminars in which he participated and organizations with which he was
involved, files on his teaching at Glendon College, the University of Toronto, and Leeds University
and his doctoral students, files of business and personal correspondence, material collected for
his two-volume work, The Shaping of Peace, family and professional memorabilia.

Notes
Acquisition history: Most of the papers were stored at Glendon College after Mr. Holmes’s death
and transferred to the Trinity College Archives in the autumn of 2001. In 2014 the family
transferred to the Archives two sets of material (largely letters). This material is to be found in
boxes 88 and 89 and 94 and 95.
Arrangement: In general the material in boxes 1-67 were arranged by Gayle Fraser (GF), John
Holmes’s executive assistant from 1968 until his death. The balance of the material (unsorted)
arrived in boxes and was put into files by an archives volunteer. In 2002-2008, all the material
catalogued by GF was checked, where appropriate hitherto unsorted material was transferred to
these files, duplicates in the unsorted material were discarded, and new series/files were created
for the remainder of the unsorted material.
Restrictions on access: Some restrictions apply, as noted in the files descriptions.
Terms governing use and reproduction / publication: Various copyright holders. It is the
researcher's responsibility to obtain permission to publish any part of the fonds.
Provenance access points: Holmes, John Wendell (1910-1988)
Associated materials: Canadian Institute of International Affairs (CIIA), minutes; National
Archives of Canada, files relating to the CIIA’s activities.
SERIES 1: ARTICLES

Scope and content: This series contains articles written by John Holmes for some 60 journals,

Note
