Custodial history

This collection was held by the Ayr Branch of the Region of Waterloo Library until it was transferred to the Region of Waterloo archives in 2017.

Scope and content

This series consists of newspapers collected by the Ayr Public Library that were of interest to the staff as they pertained to moments of historical importance for the British Empire (and Canada). Since Canadians felt stronger ties to Britain during the years that these editions were published, the Library retained copies as important historical documents. The newspapers collected here pertain to the death of George V, the coronation and abdication of Edward VIII, the coronation of George VI in 1936, the Royal Visit to Canada in 1939, and the death of Winston Churchill in 1965. There is also a commemorative booklet about the Royal Visit of 1939. Series is arranged chronologically.
