The fonds contains records of the Memories of Montague 1915-1925 project. In March 1986, a project was begun by the Garden of the Gulf Museum, financially assisted by the Department of Employment and Immigration, to mount an exhibit and plan activities around the theme "Memories of Montague, 1915 to 1925". Based in the Montague Town Hall, Joanne Bieler, project leader, assisted by three museum interpreters interviewed senior citizens, collected research notes and photographs, mounted the exhibit and planned demonstrations of crafts and food preparation, lectures, and a games afternoon all based on the information gathered concerning life in the 1920s.

The fonds consists of the administrative records of the project as well as the materials gathered. The former consist of correspondence, monthly reports, information and training materials collected, mailing lists and brochures. The latter include research index cards, taped interviews and notes from other tapes with senior citizens and large format photographs and captions which were used in the exhibit.

This fonds consists of 8 audio cassette tapes on which are recorded interviews with longtime Montague area residents Jennie Gordon, Angus McGowan, Dr. Preston McIntyre, Doris Evelyn Mair, Martha B. (Matt) Poole, Fran and Cyrus Shaw, Hazel Stewart, and LeBert Taylor. Asked about their memories of the Montague area in the period 1915-1925, they responded with reminiscences on various subjects, including: local businesses; services and business practices; transportation; social activity; religion; and medical care.

The tapes are accompanied by consent and interview questionnaire forms which note the subject's name, date of birth, occupation and main activity, their parent's names and occupations, and in one case, the subject matter of the interview (in point form).
