Notice biographique
John (Jock) Hopkirk (1913-1998) was born in Glasgow, Scotland and came to Canada as a young man. He left a job with the Tanton Lumber Company in Summerside, Prince Edward Island to enlist with the Air Force in 1940 and was posted to RCAF Station Summerside. He married Margaret Curtis (1916-2003) of Freetown. After the war ended he ran a second-hand shop called The Trading Post on Water Street and later established himself as a stockbroker with Richardson Securities, which had a second-floor office in the building on the northeast corner of Water and Summer Streets. He was a member of the Y’s Men, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Caledonia Club. His wife Margaret was also active in community organizations, including a local art club.

Présentation du contenu
The collection consists mainly of special edition newspapers, including the Journal-Pioneer centennial issues for the province in 1964 and 1967, the town of Summerside in 1977, and the Summerside Journal in 1965. There are also supplements to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the RCAF Station in 1966 and the 40th anniversary of CJRW in 1988. An issue of The County Line Courier in 1990 is a special railway edition and another in 1991 is devoted to Celtic culture on the Island. There are two issues, Volume I, Nos. 3 & 5, of The Daily Journal published in 1896 by W.A. Brennan, owner of The Summerside Journal. Some newspaper clippings refer to the debate about Maritime Union in 1970 and the Summerside Waterfront Development Program in 1971. The collection contains an 1891 Young Ladies Journal, a 1923 guide to Prince Edward Island by publisher Ernest Heaton in Toronto, a 1927 map of the province, and a colour print of the ship "Charles E. Lefurgey." There is a 1950 article from the Montreal Standard about Summerside titled "Canada's Richest Town" and a 1986 article about the California periodical The Maple Leaf. A sizable portion of the material is related to the building of the Confederation Bridge and the earlier proposals for a link to the mainland.
