Custodial history
Scope and content
This series consists of records relating to Emma Stirling and Hillfoot Farm. Stirling cared for orphaned and sick children in Scotland and later brought children from Scotland to Canada to work on farms. In 1890, the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia ordered Stirling to produce three children that she had illegally brought to Nova Scotia, as their father had not given Stirling legal authority over his children and wanted them returned to him. Types of records include a manuscript about Stirling, correspondence regarding a film project on the story, photocopies of estate papers and deeds and other research compiled.
