Municipal District of Spirit River No. 133 fonds

  • CA GPR 0550
  • Fonds
  • 1917-2001

The fonds consists of records related to the administration and activities of the Municipal District of Spirit River including holding council meetings, passing by-laws, administering the M.D.’s finances, and assessing property and collecting taxes. The fonds also includes associated records containing historical information about the M.D. and vital statistics relating to the M.D.’s residents. The material dates from 1917 to 2001 and includes records such as minutes, by-laws, financial statements, cash books, general ledgers, miscellaneous financial ledgers, assessment and tax rolls and forms, tax arrears lists, miscellaneous tax ledgers, newspaper clippings, photographs, burial registers, and birth, marriage and death registers.

The fonds is divided into five series based on record type and content: Executive records, Financial records, Tax records, Historical Information, and Provincial Vital Statistics Registers. Most of the records were originally housed in binders, ledgers, and bound books, many of which have been retained in their original form. In general, the archivist has arranged these ledgers and books according to type and chronology, maintaining original order in most cases.

Lunde family fonds

  • CA GPR 0517
  • Fonds
  • [ca. 1900]-1979

The fonds consists of personal papers and photographs belonging to members of the Lunde family. The fonds includes a 1927 Norweigian passport issued to Marie Bernfine Jorgensen Lunde, Olaf Lunde's 1941 National War Services Regulations (Recruits), Olaf Lunde's 1952 car insurance policy, the County of Grande Prairie's 1960 Auditor's Financial Statement and Annual Report of the Agricultural Service Board addressed to Jorenson O. Lunde, the 1961 United Farmers of Alberta Co-operative Limited List of Members and Nomination Paper Sub-District "G-31", and a Christmas card and note sent in 1979 from Olaf to J. Lunde at LaGlace.

The fonds also includes thirteen photographs believed to be of or have been sent to the Lunde family, although some of them may be Postman family photographs, since the two collections were mixed together at one point. The photographs include school, family, and wedding portraits, a platoon photograph, and photographs of family members and houses.

The records have been separated from the Postman family records (see fonds 515) and arranged in chronological order by the Archivist.
