We have taken photographic images of a booklet from St. John's School, New Aberdeen, Glace Bay, that lists the children who took out books on loan from the institution in the late 1930s and early 1940s.
We intend to transcribe the booklet and format it as a database, but are making it available now for review and analysis: St. John's School Books (136MB).
Anna Leonowens is known in Nova Scotia as one of the organizers of the Victoria School of Art (now NSCAD University) in 1887. She subsequently became involved in organizing the Women's Suffrage Association, where she became the first President. Although Anna was not to live to see it, the political coalition behind women's suffrage was eventually successful with the passing of the Nova Scotia Franchise Act of 26 April, 1918.
