[0681] The Co-operative Commonwealth Federation and the New Democratic Party Records, 1905, 1912-1983, MG 28, IV 1

Location: Political and Public Affairs Archives Section, Manuscript Division, Library and Archives Canada, 395 Wellington St, Ottawa, ON K1A 0N4, Canada

Description: The Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) was founded in August of 1932 in Calgary at a conference which united various farm, labour and socialist groups from across the country into a federal political party. In 1956, after the birth of the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), negotiations began between the CLC and the CCF to bring about an alliance between organized labour and the political left in Canada. In 1958 a joint CCF-CLC committee, the National Committee for the New Party (NCNP), was formed to create a "new" social democratic political party. The NCNP spent the next three years laying down the foundations of the 'New Party.' In 1961, at the end of a five-day long convention, the New Democratic Party was born and T.C. Douglas (1904-1986) was elected its first leader. The records contain much Social Credit and Social Credit Party material as well as material on Canadian right-wing political parties.
