Scope and content
Tourist Registers for the City of Fort William for the period 1927 to 1928 are stamped as the property of the Civic Tourist and Convention Bureau under the direction of secretary manager D. G. Dewar and his assistant Josephine Vanderkaa. The Civic Tourist and Convention Bureau was formalized under By-law 2664 of 1926. Managed by a Committee of the same name (see Series 6), staff at the Tourist Bureau promoted tourism, made arrangements for visitor accommodations and promoted the tourist trade. In performing these functions, the Bureaus register served much like a guest book, recording visitors to Fort William, the date of their visit, length of stay, and where they were from.
The responsibility and origin of the records for the 1907 to 1909 period are unknown. In these years, only the visitor’s name and home is given. Some listed names are identified as distinguished visitors or entertainers. Most names, however, appear to be regular travelers.
