December 1994

MG 145: D. L. Farmer fonds Dates: 1886 – 1994 (inclusive); 1950 – 1994 (predominant) Extent: 4.87 meters of textual records; 86 reels of microfilm; 2 photographs Biography: David Leighton Farmer was born on 3 October 1932 in Plymouth, England. He won a scholarship to Exeter College, and by age 25 had earned both his BA (1954) and DPhil (1958) from Oxford University. From 1958 to 1970 he taught at various schools in Scotland and England, prior to accepting a position in the Department of History at St. Thomas More College, University of Saskatchewan, in 1970. Farmer specialized in Medieval History, particularly the history of agriculture, prices, and marketing in England during the Middle Ages. Given his area of specialization, Farmer occasionally cautioned that he was working “in academic isolation” in Saskatchewan; however, his work has been characterized as “seminal;” “essential reading for anyone hoping to understand the medieval English economy and [likely to] remain classic reference articles for decades to come.” In addition to several articles and papers, Farmer also contributed three chapters to The Agrarian History of England and Wales, published Britain and the Stuarts, 1603-1714, and co-authored a textbook, Exploring Our Roots. Farmer organized and taught the first University of Saskatchewan class given outside Canada (at Oxford); served for many years as Head of the STM Department of History; and was a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. He died suddenly at his home on 26 August 1994. Scope and content: This fonds contains materials documenting the personal and academic life of David Farmer. The majority of the academic, research, and reference material deals with the history of agriculture, prices, and marketing in England and during the Middle Ages. Arrangement: Organized into 4 series:

I. Personal II. Academic III. Research Notes and Data IV. Reference Material

Research notes and data are in subseries according to type of data or covering notes on the files. However,

these distinctions are not always valid; it seems evident from Farmer’s use of this material, and the nature

of the data, that there is considerable overlap between subseries. In some instances, research notes and

data also immediately follow specific articles and/or papers. Researchers using data collected by Farmer

should refer to this material as a whole, rather than by specific subseries.

Square brackets indicate file titles supplied by the archivist. Material in English, Latin, French, and German. Restrictions: Addresses and phone numbers have been deleted from file I.B.2. There are no other restrictions.
