Marine Protests of Sailing Ships

Series contains protests of sailing ships—schooners and barquentines (ships which have no main engine and operate only under sail). In the case of those files that include a typed protest, they appear to be copies of the handwritten originals.

Education papers

Series contains notebooks, diplomas, and other materials created through the education of various members of the Smith family. It is sometimes unclear if the school notes in this series belong to Olive or Clauda. The notebooks from 1908 and 1909 certainly belong to Olive and date from the time she was enrolled at Dalhousie University. A number of loose school notes without date or subject also appear here. A convocation programme from Dalhousie (1911) included in this series lists Olive Winifred Smith as graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree.

Some of these letters express patriotic feelings about supporting Canada in the war.

There is also a file containing envelopes for which no letters exist. "Captain" was Roome's given name, rather than his military rank, and he was known as "Cap" to his family, friends and business associates. He went on to become an R.A.F. Squadron Leader.
