This daybook is believed to have belonged to Robert Jenkins of Belfast, Prince Edward Island and contains details of monies owed and collected for farm-related supplies and services, including buying and selling foxes, and some muskrat and beaver. The daybook mentions the names and reasons for any business dealings (1913-1918). The daybook includes two letters from the Attorney General (1902, 1903) appointing, and then extending the appointment of, Robert Jenkins as prosecutor for the enforcement of the Prohibition Act of 1900. A handwritten copy of the letter (1902) written by Mr. Jenkins, accepting the appointment, is also included. Newspaper clippings (1903, 1906) are pasted inside the front cover and back pages. Many of the newspaper clipping discuss prohibition, temperance, and Mr. Jenkins's appointment as prosecutor.

The fonds consists of correspondence, minutes, and papers relating to the formation and operation of the Summerside and Area Historical Society. Included are materials generated by the group in its planning of several historic house tours and the publication of two walking tour brochures in 1985 and 1992. A project using a summer student in 1985 resulted in a sizable collection of photographs being amassed, principally from R. Allan Rankin who had acquired them for his book "Down at the Shore". The photos were arranged into 12 categories and the original order has been maintained with most images falling under the headings of commercial, and individuals and groups. Textual materials were also gathered at that time and later on, mainly on the subjects of fox farming, ship building, Canadian Forces Base Summerside and Holman's Island. There are various handwritten papers on the general history of Summerside and a few specific ones on the history of baseball, the Post Office, the Rotary club, and the Y.M.C.A. There are handwritten notes and photos from the 1994 inventory of heritage homes and the typed bylaw proposal for heritage preservation prepared in 1995. Other items of note include a 1928 booklet "The Island Bred Fox" by B.I. Rayner, the 1909 Holman's catalogue, an original 1878 Panoramic View of Summerside, an undated paper "Record of Ships Built and Registered in PEI 1790-1830" by Preston Ellis, a scrapbook of Barbara McGougan dated 1928-1930, a scrapbook of Lucas R. Allen dated1942-1964, and transcribed newspaper articles about the Summerside Board of Trade from 1910 -1934.

This fonds consists of a booklet summarizing the existing state of the fox industry ca. 1930 including prices current at the time for breeding stock and for pelts. It also discusses the proper building of fox ranches, care and feeding of the pups, and the development of fox registration. Particular reference is made to the excellence of Chequers Court farms and the quality of their product. Several inserts in the booklet identify individuals in photographs, give a brief history of fox farming on PEI and outline the history of Westbourne, the Heartz home on West Street, Charlottetown.
