Work & Business

The series consists of records relating to Roland’s work, primarily as an electrician in the 1950s. The records include a receipt book for the R. J. Pivert Wood Work Shop (1944-55), a 1956 Contract of Apprenticeship, a 1956 Apprenticeship Board qualification report, a newspaper clipping about the building of the North Western Pulp and Power Mill in Hinton, a letter from the Federal Electric Corporation regarding a job, an undated Residential and Farm Wiring Permit, a blank application form for the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires, and photographs, negatives, and slides showing the construction of the Hinton mill, the Grande Prairie Hospital, the Dunvegan Bridge, and the Wapiti River Bridge, and work at a forestry bush camp and George Stephen’s Sawmill.

The records have been arranged in chronological order, as far as possible, by the Archivist.

Veteran's Benefits

The series consists of correspondence with the Department of Veterans Affairs and associated records (including summaries of evidence, notifications of hearings and decisions, certification of VLA qualification legal agreements, and certificates of title) relating to benefits Roland was entitled to receive due to his military service. Topics addressed include Veterans Insurance, Re-establishment Credit, Pension, and Veterans’ Land Act.

Although the records of all benefits have been combined in one file by the Archivist, original order has essentially been maintained since the records were mostly chronological and application for different benefits date from different time periods.
