- Scope & content
- This fonds consists of approximately 11 photographs, 1 cm of textual records and 17 reels of microfilm of the Anglican Church of Canada, Diocese of the Arctic. Two b&w photographic prints are portraits of Archdeacon Robert McDonald of Fort McPherson and Bishop Archibald Lang Fleming. 9 photographs are glass slides depicting people in Shingle Point and possibly Aklavik. The textual records consist of one report by Canon Alfred J. Vale on his winter trip from Hay River to Fort Resolution in 1919; and a manuscript entitled "Memoranda of the Mission to the Mackenzie River Eskimo, 1895-1929." The manuscript is attributed to C.E. Whittaker and discusses the history of Anglican missions along the Mackenzie River including Fort Simpson, Fort McPherson, Aklavik, Herschel Island and missions in the Mackenzie Delta region. Also documented in the text are the arrivals and departures of various missionaries. A typed copy of the manuscript is retained on the accession file. The microfilm represents approximately 4.5 meters of text dating from approximately 1927 to 1949. The records consist of files from Bishop A.L. Fleming's term as Bishop of the Arctic. They include: clergy files; women workers files; mission station files; and diocesan files. The clergy files include: correspondence, mission reports, requisitions, cables, architectural drawings, maps, statistical reports, photographs and other materials related to male mission workers. The women workers files include: mission reports, cables, candidate applications and statistical reports from women who worked as nurses, teachers, deaconesses and house matrons. The mission station files include: correspondence, annual reports, budgets, requisitions, architectural plans, statistical reports and photographs. The diocesan files include: correspondence, architectural plans, maps, minutes of the Arctic Mission Committee and subject files. Please note that the Inuit are referred to as "Eskimos" in these records.
