Administrative history

The Abegweit Chapter of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire, the second primary chapter to be formed in Prince Edward Island was organised in Summerside on 6 March 1915 and received its charter on 12 April 1916. A patriotic society, the chapter devoted its activities during the war years to the support of servicemen and their families. In other years monies obtained through fund raising activities were used to assist libraries, provide educational prizes and bursaries, promote citizenship activities, and support community endeavours.

Custodial history
