Scope and Content
This
scrapbook is devoted primarily to the organization of one of Canada's first
curling clubs and documents the vitality of this sport in Quebec during the
mid-19th century.
Covering
the period from the founding of the Montreal Thistle Curling Club in 1843 to
the year 1881, the scrapbook contains a number of records illustrating the
association's sports and social activities. There are, for example, letters
bearing the official seal of the Governor General of Canada that were sent with
the gold and silver medals won by the Club in 1875 at the Governor General's
Trophy competition. Press clippings report on the Montreal Thistle Curling
Club's banquets and annual meetings as well as tournaments in which it played
against other clubs. The fonds also includes telegrams, invitations, invoices,
account statements, members lists, reports listing game results, copies of
scorecards, regulations, menus and programs.
