Stanley William Bird fonds

  • GPR 0594
  • Fonds
  • 1918

The fonds consists of a photograph of Stanley William Bird, and three letters which he wrote to his sister and father in 1918. The first letter, dated June 10th, is addressed to Peg and contains the words to the song "Prairieland" as well as the poem, "How". He mentions subjects in which Peg was probably interested (birds' eggs, what the houses look like, and how all the men look like cowboys), and tells her that she can keep his pony Nell, "a little white mare with brown ears". The second letter, dated June 27th, talks about the murders of seven men in June 1918, and is a good measurement of the rumours and assumptions made at the time about the money, the perpetrators, and the victims. This letter also describes the wildlife in the area (wild horses, beaver, moose, bear, silver and cross foxes, timber wolf), the remnants of the Klondike Trail which is also the pack trail from Prairie City to Pouce Coupe, and looks forward to the July 1 Sports Day when "all the Indians in the country will be there". The third letter, dated July 11th, gives the "latest news" which is that the number of men murdered has increased to thirteen. He also mentions that he is making $70.00 per month working on a steam plowing outfit, and that he is going hunting with an Indian man named Wi-kit-sis.

Beaverlodge & District Historical Association fonds

  • GPR 0592
  • Fonds
  • 1988

The fonds consists of the proofs for "People of the Pass" written by Madelon Truax and Beth Sheehan in 1988. There are two sets of proofs. One is on 11 x 17 sheets of paper, one section per chapter, but with no photographs or page divisions. This set appears to have been used for proof-reading and corrections. The second set of proofs are 20 x 24 in. sheets of paper folded in 8ths and printed both sides to make 16 pages. There are 19 sections of 16 pages each, with photographs included throughout, to make up the 144 pages in the book. The proofs are accompanied by some loose sheets, including a list of the 274 photographs used in the book, coded to indicate who they came from, and designs for the front and back covers and introductory pages. There are also four photographs: a postcard of Kinuseo Falls by R.E. Leake used for the front of the book; Madelon & Garnet Truax in 1986; Everett, Beth, Kells and Moira Sheehan in 1987; and Beth with "the oven" at a winter camp at Two Lakes in 1986.

"People of the Pass" is the story of the people who dreamed of, engineered, and laboured on the Monkman Pass Highway through the Rocky Mountains southwest of Beaverlodge. This road was built with volunteer labour during the depression and, although it was never improved to become an all-weather road, it is a monument to industry and courage. The book was published by the Beaverlodge Historical Society and printed by Menzies Printers.

Grande Prairie Ski Club and Wapiti Ski Lifts Ltd. fonds

  • GPR 0590
  • Fonds
  • 1962-2010

The fonds consists of records of the Grande Prairie Ski Club and Wapiti Ski Lifts Ltd. The two organizations are closely linked and some of the records are inseparable. Records include minutes, financial records, correspondence, lists of members and contributors, ski lift plans, a ski school photograph, and Canadian Ski Patrol manual.

The fonds is divided into three series: Grande Prairie Ski Club, Wapiti Ski Lifts Ltd., and Canadian Ski Patrol.

The order of the files was imposed by the Archivist in an attempt to separate the Ski Club records from those of Wapiti Ski Lifts Ltd., as much as possible. The original order within files was maintained in some cases, although loose documents and miscellaneous documents within other files were inserted in the file the suited them best. The correspondence was also compiled into one file and organized in reverse chronological order.
