Custodial history
This collection was held by the Ayr Branch of the Region of Waterloo Library until it was transferred to the Region of Waterloo archives in 2017.
Scope and content
This series consists of scrapbooks of Ayr-specific newspaper clippings between 1935 and 1973. There appears to be scrapbooks completed by two different creators: Margaret Stockton, who compiled birth and death notices in several small notebooks; and another, unnamed creator who compiled births, deaths and general news items in very large scrapbooks. Between the two creators the years between 1920 and 1980 are covered, though the years between 1950 and 1980 received much more thorough coverage and many years have coverage from both sets of scrapbooks. Starting in 1969, the unknown creator began creating two scrapbooks per year thanks to the sheer amount of material. One scrapbook will cover the first half of the year, the other the later months and a collection of Birth, Death and Wedding Notices at the rear. Series is arranged chronologically.
