David Ross, Military Curator of Parks Canada, writes that "this diary ...was donated to Fort Battleford National Historic Park, Parks Canada in 1973 by Lieutenant Wadmore's grandson Dennis E. Harris of Victoria, B.C. along with his N. W. Canada Medal. It is one of the many items of historical interest acquired by the Fort during the long and distinguished tenure of Mrs. Mabel Simpson as Superintendant of the Park.
This file contains four Mission School reports (quarterly reports) for the Makoce Waste Reserve near Prince Albert, written by Lucy M. Baker. The reports show student attendance and discuss student activities and progress in their studies.
