J. R. Connell fonds

  • CA GPR 0370
  • Fonds
  • [ca. 1920-1956]

The fonds consists of records relating to Jack Connell’s business activities as a blacksmith and farm owner and to his personal life. The contents of the fonds deal primarily with his life and activities after moving to the Grande Prairie area in the 1920s. The records include various account books, receipts, invoices, and statements, legal agreements, census returns, permits, correspondence, and a photograph.

Since the original order had been disrupted, the archivist imposed an order, dividing the records by type into files and then arranging them chronologically within the files. The fonds is arranged in three series: Financial records, Other business records, and Personal records.
