Biographical history
The Dunk River Farmers' Institute was one of twenty institutes formed in Prince Edward Island in 1901 in accordance with the provisions of the "Act for the Encouragement of Agriculture". The Farmers' Institutes numbered 33 in all comprising as nearly as possible two townships in each. The organization was set up in 1901 by provincial officials and two institute workers supplied by the Dominion Department of Agriculture. The institutes held meetings periodically to promote agricultural education, improved methods of stock breeding, general farming and co-operative ventures.
Custodial history
Scope and content
This fonds is comprised of a minute book, two account books, and supplementary financial papers of the Dunk River Farmers' Institute. The minute books contains minutes of the annual, regular, and special meetings of the Institute for 1932-1956. Issues discussed include the purchase of seed and livestock, the rental of Institute equipment, the payment of accounts, and requests for information regarding crops and livestock. The account books note the financial transactions of the organization and include details of the seed, shingle, feed, lime, and lumber purchases made by members; supplementary financial documentation and correspondence is also filed loosely in these two volumes. The periods covered by the account books overlap with one containing transactions for 1933-1957 and the other 1948-1958.
