Searching tips
This database has been compiled over two summers (1997 and 1998) from source material held by the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick by Alice Tayler (1997), Sean Wiseman (1998) and Jonathan Bowie (1997-1998), working under the supervision of Burton Glendenning (PANB) and Elizabeth Hamilton (UNB Libraries).
Jonathan Bowie worked with Jennifer Jeffries of the UNB Libraries' Electronic Text Centre to create images of documents using the ETC's high resolution PhaseOne digital camera, and Steve Sloan, of the UNB Libraries, coordinated the mounting and indexing of the database through the UNB Libraries web server.
Funding for this project has made possible through a Young Canada Works Project, coordinated through the Canadian Library Association.
