Administrative history / Biographical sketch
The South Peace Horticultural Society was formed in 1969. Jim Kluyt, Yvonne McAllister and Mary Orchuk made up the first executive. The society was a member of the Alberta Horticultural Association and its major projects each year were the spring and fall flower shows. Later this was downsized to one annual flower show. The club disbanded in 1987.
Custodial history
Records were donated to the Grande Prairie Museum in 1998, but were not accessioned until 2000 while waiting for proper authority. They were transferred to Grande Prairie Regional Archives by Peter Goertzen, museum administrator. South Peace Regional Archives received an accrual from Lorna McIlroy on April 19, 2013. Lorna was the secretary of the organization in 1986-1987.
Scope and content
The fonds consists of incorporation documents, minutes, membership lists, correspondence, financial records, records of annual flower shows, a hardy vegetable project done in cooperation with the Beaverlodge Research Station, news clippings, and newsletters and reports from the Alberta Horticultural Association.
