Administrative history
The American Canoe Association was founded in 1880 in the United States and spread rapidly throughout North America. During the third year of its organization the American Canoe Club held its annual meeting and regatta at Juniper Point on Stoney Lake north of Peterborough.
Custodial history
This fonds was created by Jean Cole and Hugh Mercer. Jean Cole compiled records relating to the 100th anniversary of the Regatta at Juniper Point, Stoney Lake. Hugh Mercer donated materials from the American Canoe Association that he had received when he was a member of the Association. The materials from Jean Cole and Hugh Mercer were in each person's custody until the material was donated to the Trent University Archives.
Scope and content
This fonds consists of materials on the American Canoe Association, compiled by Jean Cole for research on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Regatta at Juniper Point, Stoney Lake. The compilation consists of copies of papers from the American Canoe Association Book, 1883; copies of articles from the Peterborough Examiner concerning the Stoney Lake Meet in 1883 and a 1976 map produced by the Stoney Lake Cottagers Association with an accompanying booklet listing property owners on the lake and the lot locations. Also included in the collection are copies of American Canoe Association yearbooks (1938-1947), some badges, a belt buckle and membership cards.
