Awards and Memorial Records

The sub-series consists of some certificates of awards given to Miss Campbell during her lifetime, and memorial records her funeral: obituaries, funeral service card, guest book, cards of condolence and written memories of Isabel; and a collection of news articles, mostly written after her death, about the impact she has had on the community of Grande Prairie and on the Peace Country.

Isabel Campbell slide collection

The sub-series consists of colour slides of historical sites such as Dunvegan, Kleskun Hill Park, and Hudson Hope Dam; historic buildings at Grande Prairie, Flying Shot Lake, and Pipestone Creek; natural sites such as the Red Willow River, Simonette River, Smoky River, Wapiti River, Bad Heart District, and Richmond Hill Golf Club; and historical churches, schools, and ferries. Most of the slides are unidentified by the photographer. There is one photograph of the Bousefield Homestead and some of the Clyde Campbell Homestead which are identified. There are also slides of Isabel's home and garden in Grande Prairie from 1965 to 1980.
