    Biographical history

    Several generations of the Stewart family have lived in the Peterborough area. Thomas A. Stewart and his wife, Frances, were prominent and influential early citizens of Peterborough. Extensive biographical information on the Stewart family, plus friends, neighbours, and associates, may be found in 02-001.

    Custodial history

    Fonds was in the custody of Richard Stewart Kelly before it was donated to Trent University Archives in 2011.

    Scope and content

    Fonds consists of correspondence, journals, religious materials, and newspaper clippings related to the family of Thomas Alexander Stewart and Frances Stewart. Many papers originate from the family of their son, Henry Louis Stewart. Also included are a book about the Stewart family, Poole's history of Peterborough, a photograph of people at camp at "Indian Hill near Coldwater Ontario," a sketch of Auburn (the family homestead), and a map depicting townships with lots and concessions in the counties of Northumberland, Durham, Victoria, and Peterborough.
