McLennan
Louisbourg File in the Nova Scotia Collection
of the James McConnell Library, Sydney, Nova Scotia
[From:
http://collections.ic.gc.ca/mclennan/biblio.htm
~ Editor's Note: Most, if not all of the manuscript sources, are also available at the Fortress of Louisbourg, many
being microfilm replications of the original]
This section records
those items contained in the McLennan Louisbourg File in the Nova Scotia
Collection of the James McConnell Library. The items in this file are not
catalogued, therefore they will be recorded as they are presently arranged.
Items in each of the four drawers are arranged differently, this arrangement is
explained in an introduction to each drawer.
McLennan Louisbourg
File
Drawer No.1
Louisbourg documents
Contained in the
files in this drawer are transcriptions of original documents pertaining to
Louisbourg. These are hand transcriptions which were done in the late 1800's and
early 1900's, mainly by John Stewart McLennan and his daughter, Katharine. The
McLennans travelled to England, France, and the United States in search of
original documents which would assist Mr. McLennan in writing his book,
Louisbourg From Its Foundation to Its Fall 1713 - 1758. These transcriptions are
considered by authorities to be accurate and are a valuable addition to the Nova
Scotia Collection.
Files in this drawer
are arranged alphabetically by subject. The transcriptions within each are
ordered, and are recorded here as such.
