Series consists of essays on historical topics submitted to the Wentworth Historical Society by various grade school students for prizes. The purpose of the essays was to gather information on various historic places and events, as well as people whose industry and enterprise contributed to the prosperity of the Hamilton region, ensuring the preservation and publication of this history. The Society believed this work would benefit the organization, as well as the students who would acquire better citizenship and knowledge of their history. Students from Ancaster, Barton and Saltfleet participated and the student with the best essay from each school section would win a prize. The topics of the essays include the History of Wentworth County, the History of Bartonville, A Short Historical Sketch of Stoney Creek and Vicinity, Burlington Beach, and Pioneers of the Beach. The folder also contains a few pieces of correspondence from teachers submitting the work from their students to the Wentworth Historical Society.
