The archival community in London and southwestern Ontario has lost a 
pioneer with the death of Ed Phelps.  For over two decades Ed was in 
charge of the J.J. Talman Regional Collection at The University of 
Western Ontario and was instrumental in saving and collecting many 
important documents relating the university and southwestern Ontario. He 
also published many local historical works.  The text of the obituary 
notice from the London Free Press is included below.
