Historique de la conservation
The earlier material in the fonds was donated to the library by Dr. Johnston in 1971. In 1990, more material was transferred to the Hamilton Public Library upon request by Mr. Brian Henley, Head of the Special Collections Department (precursor to Local History & Archives), to the Executive Director of the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce, L. Lee Kirby, who agreed to the transfer of materials to the library through correspondence dated July 27, 1990.
Portée et contenu
Series consists of newspaper clippings from various newspapers including the Hamilton Spectator, the Hamilton Herald, the West Hamilton Journal, the Dundas Star Journal, the Ancaster News, the Hamilton Mountain News, the Canadian Economist Free Trade Journal and the Liverpool Standard, pertaining to the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce. The articles cover Chamber events, the state of the Hamilton economy and Hamilton businesses, and business in general, including taxes, imports and exports, transportation, elections, unemployment, labour strikes, as well as government legislation affecting business. The series includes a scrapbook of clippings from the early 1900s, which is wrapped due to the fragile nature of the material. The articles pertain to the Board of Trade and its reorganization, announcements regarding events, and the work of the Board of Trade in the community.
