Scope and content
This collection contains the materials accumulated by Fred Horne during his research and composition of the book "Historic Summerside 1900-1970". The City of Summerside, Prince Edward Island, honored the millennium year with the initiation of several projects relating to culture and heritage. In the spring of 2000 the Department of Economic Development issued a contract to PEI historian Fred Horne to write a history of Summerside that would describe the changes in the town in the 20th century. An advisory board consisting of Alan Rankin and Faye Pound met with the author over the summer and fall of 2000 and reviewed the early drafts of the book, which was to be called "An Illustrated History of Summerside". Nimbus Publishing Limited of Halifax was chosen as the publisher and it patterned the text and accompanying images to blend with its "Images of the Past" series. The editing process continued through 2001 after Mr. Horne had accepted a position as archivist at the MacNaught History Centre and Archives. The book went to press in early 2002 under the title "Historic Summerside 1900-1970" and was officially launched on Sunday, 9 June 2002.
The collection consists of Horne's handwritten notes made from printed sources and interviews, the typed records of the research plan, progress reports, book outlines and early book drafts, and some correspondence with Nimbus Publishing. The edited book drafts are stored on computer diskettes.
The book's emphasis is on photographs that were collected from Summerside individuals and institutions. The collection contains 751 digital images, over 100 of them from the collection of Donna Sears who inherited the historical photo collection from professional photographer Lorne Read. The Sears photographs are stored separately and contains 111 black and white prints made from negatives, of which 8 have not been scanned. The collection also contains a variety of printed materials that were collected by the author in the course of his work.
