Historique de la conservation
The papers in this collection seem to have been received by Thomas Archer (1781- xx) who was born in Cumberland England and emigrated to Canada in 1831 and married to Elizabeth Mason Archer. In the next generations the letters were received by John Archer (1815-1884) and Joseph Archer (1861-1931). Joseph Archer was the grandfather of Bertha McBride (1924- ) and great-grandfather of Stan McBride Jr, the donor of this collection.
