Administrative history
The Victoria Hotel was founded on Water Street in Windsor, Nova Scotia, during the late eighteenth century by Thomas Doran, an early Irish immigrant following the expulsion of the Acadians in 1755. The original wooden building was replaced in 1896, but destroyed by fire in 1897. It was re-constructed in 1898.
Custodial history
Records were donated to the Dalhousie University Archives in accessions (1972-019) and (1972-021) in March 1972 by Mrs. Owen Doran.
Scope and content
Fonds contains early nineteenth-century records of the Victoria Hotel, including cash books (1903-1913); ledgers (1902-1914); and guest registers (1899-1928).
