Documents from Department
"The Nelson Office of the Lands and Deeds Department held some 30,000 documents bearing on early provincial settlement. Our society was invited to select any that it considered of interest. This involved a weekly session for three of us for a period of six months, and resulted in the selection of some 329 documents. We concentrated mainly on educational, ecclesiastical and those bearing on certain areas and people of special interest.
