Edwin Beaupre fonds
CA ON00259 SC18 · Fonds · 1895-1930

Fonds consists of seven journals of bird and weather observations in the Kingston area, as well as an accompanying index. The first two volumes give a daily account of weather and bird observations over the period covering March 1st, 1895 to September 28th, 1900. Volumes 3 and 4 note sightings of birds and observations, in addition to which there are several passages giving detailed descriptions of some specific species of birds. Volumes 5 and 6 detail bird sightings, as well as some weather observations. Volume 6 also contains a supplement of a diary from a trip to Okatoks, Alberta. Volume 7 opens with observations on egg collecting as well as personal inquiries about the nature of nest-making. The volume then goes on to describe the materials found in the nests, the number of eggs collected and the different locations of nests for various species, and occasionally notes the date when a nest was found. The index is in two parts, the first of which lists the species of birds mentioned in the first six volumes of the fonds and indicates where each mention occurs. The second section lists the birds described in the Okatoks, Alberta notes, and indicates where each mention may be found.

O.D. Boggs fonds
CA ON00259 SC19 · Fonds · 1904-1962

Fonds consists of fifteen journals of Boggs’ bird observations. Volume 1 consists of typewritten pages organized by species of bird, apparently not in taxonomic order. This volume notes the dates when the bird was seen and observations about the bird and its habitat. Volume 2 consists of handwritten pages organized by species, possibly in taxonomic order, listing where and when it was sighted. In addition, there is a list of species collected in Ecuador, organized by the location of the sightings. Volume 3 is a list of all the birds collected in Alberta, organized first by date, then by species. This journal gives details about the appearance of the birds, as well as location of sighting. The remaining 12 volumes are all date books or diaries that Boggs used to record observations of weather, travels, and birds sightings. In addition, these volumes appear to have been used as personal diaries. Of these last 13 volumes, only the first two (volumes 4 and 5) are very heavily used.

Charles Hose fonds
CA ON00259 SC35 · Fonds · 1879-1907

Fonds consists of a manuscript for Hose’s book, The Birds of Borneo, and a map of Borneo. The manuscript of The Birds of Borneo is an unbound, handwritten copy of the work. The book opens with a discussion of the kinds of bird species that live on Borneo. The book then lists the individual species of each order that were found on Borneo, giving the taxonomic entry for the species, as well as more detailed information of behaviour and habitat. There are blank spaces where there were to be illustrations of the birds added to the printed text. The map of Borneo is a small, foldable item, with cloth reinforcing the folds. The inside of the map is a printed map of Borneo, by James Wyld, Geographer to the Queen. The map appears to have been hand-coloured by C. Hose. On the back of the printed map is a hand drawn image from 1879 which shows a detail of the island. It is possible that this was drawn by Hose, but there is no specific mention of the artist.
