RESEARCH

On  Wednesday, December 27, 2006 to December 29, 2006, together with Lynda Krause (research transcript assistant), we visited the Public Archives of Nova Scotia. 

The following reels in the series are:

• DesBarres Papers
   
  • DesBarres, Joseph Frederick Wallet, 1721-1824. - Papers : 1762-1925 - 7 microfilm reels of textual records (5 Series) ; 35 mm.
    • Reel 1: PANS 10220
    • Reel 2 - PANS 10221
    • Reel 3 - PANS 10222
    • Reel 4: PANS 10223
    • Reel 5: PANS 10224
    • Reel 6: PANS 10225
    • Reel 7: PANS 10226

Note: A Portion of the DesBarres Series was researched earlier at the Harriet Irving Library, University Of New Brunswick

The following reels of the DesBarres Papers were examined before the planned research period expired: 

• Reel Two (Series 5 (M23, F 1-5, Volume 6, Accounts, 1767-1794), PANS Reel 10221) was examined  from folio 1131 to the end. Pages 1137-1182, 1183-1237 proved to be a gold mine and only extracts were taken owing to time constraints. These pages should be again re-examined.
• Reel Three (Series 5 (M23, F 1-5, Volumes 7-12, Representation of DesBarres Case, 1788-1804 - Published Work After 1787-Before 1794, pp. 1554-1626), PANS Reel 10222) was examined from folio 1616 to the end
• Reel Four was examined to f. 2529 - that is, to where the Vermont section began.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• This series holds numerous Sparrow and Fortress of Louisbourg references. It also has many references to building supplies which would be of interest to the Fortress. Based on 2004 research, it is recommended that the Fortress purchase reels 1-3 for certain, and a recommendation regarding reels 4-7 will be made when these are examined at a later date. 

ADDITIONAL RESEARCH TO ESTABLISH THE DATE OF THE
INCORPORATION OF THE SYDNEY LAWN TENNIS CLUB INC c. 1902

• A search of originals RG 73, Volume 17: Company Incorporation Index, 1900-1914 revealed nothing. One interesting entry in this index was Sherwood Ltd. on p. 642 of another book which I could not identify at this time.
• A search of originals  RG 73, Volume 28: Company Incorporation Index, 1914-1957 revealed nothing
