The series of records related to the management of St. Peter's cemetery and to research about the cemetery include original 19th-century documents about cemetery management, including: a petition to consecrate the cemetery, 1871; a letter from William Welsh to Rev. George Wright Hodgson re the mortgage for church land, 1871; a conveyance between William H. Lord (and wife Susannah Lord) to Rev. G. W. Hodgson for church land, 1871; confirmation of the consecration of cemetery land, 1871; and rules for St. Peter's Graveyard, 1890. Also in the series are correspondence, notes, and financial statements about the cemetery from 1895 to 1957, from 1962 to 2007, and from 2010-2012. Also included is research documentation compiled by archives volunteer Mike Smitherman from 2011, including copies of records from the Provincial Archives and Records Office of Prince Edward Island.
Sans titreThe anniversary planning and events series consists of documents created or brought together by St. Peter's Cathedral Church to celebrate the church's various anniversaries, including its 50th, 75th, 100th, 125th, and 150th. The series includes publications, video productions, photographs, posters, and related promotional items generated to support the anniversary events, along with news items about the anniversaries. Note that 150th anniversary records were added in 2020 and need to be reviewed after 2020 in the event that other anniversary planning records come to the archives.
Sans titreThe service registers series consists of official listings of all services held in St. Peter's Cathedral Church and All Souls' Chapel from the start of services on 13 June 1869. The registers normally note number of congregants, numbers receiving communion, hymns sung, and additional service notes, as well as comments about such topics as weather, special events, etc. As well, some registers, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, included pasted in copies of correspondence, newspaper clippings, copies of annual reports, and other documents. The registers, therefore, contain a great deal of information about church activities beyond specific services.
Sans titreThe photographic directory of members consisted of two binders of photographs attached to construction paper, with the names of parishioners written on the paper. Pages appear to have been created for every member of the church but not all pages have photographs attached. The directory was originally divided into three three-ring binders (28 x 29 cm each): the first for parishioners with last names A to J, the second for last names from K to O, and the third for last names from P to Y. In order to preserve the photographs safely, the photographs and sheets of paper were removed from the binders and placed in files in alphabetical order as follows: File 1: A-E, File 2: F-J, File 3: K-Mc, File 4: Me-R, File 5: S-Y, File 6: To Be Identified. The approximate date that the photographs were taken is 1985, based on information provided by parishioners in 2020.
Sans titreThe 31 files in this series relate to a wide variety of topics. A file list has been prepared and file titles, dates, and descriptive information have been pasted into this description to help with research.
