Biographical history
Lawrence Hayward was born on November 10, 1930, in Midland, Ontario. Hayward was a massage therapist, artist, writer, and art collector, and he wrote numerous biographies on Canadian sculptors. His work on Canadian sculptors began in 1963, when he was asked to write biographies of Frances Loring and Florence Wyle. By 1965, Hayward had collected documentation on 65 sculptors. He died in January 2015 in Kingston, Ontario.
Custodial history
In the 1970s and 1980s, the Hayward Collection was dispersed among Canadian institutions, namely Concordia University, Queen's University, the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Archives of Ontario, and Library and Archives Canada. Concordia purchased 1,800 slides from the collection at that time. In 1993, numerous slides and textual records were transferred from the Archives of Ontario to Concordia University's Slides Library, known today as the Visual Collections Repository (VCR). The collection was transferred to the Library's Special Collections from VCR on May 23, 2018.
