Custodial history

The records associated with this fonds were created by members of the Sawtell family. Articles and notes written by R.W. Sawtell were passed down by the family eventually becoming the possession of Anne Sawtell. These records were donated to the County of Oxford Archives on December 16, 2021.

A few records were created by members of the Oxford Historical Society that relate to the materials donated. These records were amalgamated into the fonds for continuity purposes.

Scope and content

The fonds consists of records related to the Sawtell family’s history, Oxford County, Brantford, and southern Ontario. It is arranged into the following series:

Series 1: Sawtell Papers
Series 2: Newspaper clippings
