This fonds consists primarily of the business records and associated materials of the Brecken and Peake families of Prince Edward Island. The documents cover the time period 1784 to 1870 although most of the material dates from 1840 on. The Peake business began in 1824 and after 1830 seems to have been connected to the Brecken firm. Some records in the early 1830's may belong to either firm. Also included are some papers of a personal nature. The material has been partially sorted and boxed and is divided into two series: Brecken papers and Peake papers.
