Fonds
1870-1975

The fonds consists of architectural plans, Bass River picnic files, correspondence and invoices, counter books, customer and employee records, export papers, interest books, journals, ledgers, legal documents, merchandise invoices, photographs, printed materials, reports and shareholder papers, sales books/journals, sales invoice copy books, statement books, and stock inventories, spanning over 100 years from 1870 to 1975. These materials illustrate accounting methods, the production of and market for chairs, shipping processes, relationships with other companies and the community, etc. The majority of the fonds consists of correspondence and invoices, both to and from Dominion Chair, including orders for company goods, for factory equipment, and items to stock the general store. Together the items are useful in understanding the organizational structure, management, and operations of the Dominion Chair Company, and provide insight into business operations in Nova Scotia throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries.

Dominion Chair Company's photographs

Series
1876-[19-?]

Part of Dominion Chair Company fonds

This series contains 115 photographs relating to the Dominion Chair Company. Three of the photos depict the factory during the late nineteenth century. As the factory looks different in each photo, it can be assumed that they were documenting the re-building efforts after each fire. Other photos are primarily catalog shots depicting various types of chairs made by the Company. Photographic materials in this series have been removed to the archives' photographic collection (PC-4).
