George Butler's 1862 letter to his future wife, Fanny Brett. It was partially written while on a ship. The language is distinctly of the time, and he makes unflattering observations of pre-earthquake San Francisco. Our Archives has a typed copy for legibility.

A “Buy Canadian” flyer tucked in a BC Cement Co receipt sent to Richard Nimmo in 1934. The flyer asked customers to buy produced-in-Canada goods to increase employment in our country!

A 1920 invoice from Brackman-Ker Milling Co to J.A. Bell for alfalfa meal and shorts. The whole delivery came to $9.80, including the .50 freight charge! A 1976 hand-drawn greeting card by Willard Michell, while he was in Saanich Peninsula Hospital.

File 62: Bay of Quinte tartan Fabric sample. Production of this tartan began in 1967. It was made by Trenton Dyeing and Finishing and was designed by Alex Wilson.

Bay of Quinte tartan from 1967: "The dark blue blocks of the fabric represented the Bay, lighter blue blocks local rivers and streams, green blocks local fields and parks and the gold threads the golden future of the Quinte area."
