Fonds
·
1872 - 1969
Fonds consists of records created and kept by the Macdonald family. The fonds includes ledgers, day books, receipts, catalogs, and shop licenses showcasing the day to day operations of the Macdonald family blacksmith shop. These records are particularly important because the transition of the Macdonald shop from Blacksmith to General Store to Garage can be shown through the ledgers and daybooks. Fonds also contains personal family material including postcards, photographs, newspaper clippings, autograph books, and inscriptions from the inside covers of family-owned books. The books themselves were not unique and therefore were given back to the donors.
