Biographical history
Rosina Septilia Evans received a teaching certificate in 1893 in England. She became school principal in England, Wales, Africa, in the United States and Hawaii. She taught privately in Cuba and in California. From 1914 to 1919 she did volunteer work related to war in England and Australia, including nursing and addressing crowds of anticonscriptionists, and survived several Zeppelin raids. In 1919 she was in Vancouver and looked for work in Alberta near Brooks as a school teacher or a private teacher on a ranch. Instead of finding work in Alberta, she found a position in Manitoba on the Galician settlement of Sandy Lake as a doctor, nurse and teacher. In 1924 she looked again for a position in Alberta. In 1926 the Registrar of the Board of Education in Edmonton referred her to school administrators in Vegreville, Vermilion and St-Paul because she spoke Russian and French (in addition to English and Spanish). It is unknown if she found a teaching position in Alberta because her letters stopped in 1926.
Custodial history
The letters were donated to the Provincial Archives of Alberta by the NAIT staff who found them in the desk of an empty office at NAIT. The donor did not know when and how the letters came to Edmonton and for how long the letters remained in this desk before being found.
Scope and content
The fonds consists of letters between Rosina Septilia Evans and the Board of Education in Edmonton. This correspondence was written or received by R. S. Evans when she wished to obtain a teaching position in Alberta.
