Queen Mary's Needlework Guild

Histoire administrative

The Queen Mary's Needlework Guild was founded by Queen Mary in August 1914 to make and supply clothes to soldiers and sailors in the First World War. Branches of the Guild were established throughout the British Empire and in many other parts of the world. The Charlottetown Branch of the Guild was established in 1918 by Mrs. A. A. Bartlett.

The primary activities of the branch were four-fold: to create babies' and children's garments for the Prince Edward Island Protestant Orphanage; to donate garments to the Protestant Family Service Bureau; to make clothing for the Unitarian Service Committee to be sent to refugee children abroad; and to prepare a box of children's garments to be dispatched annually to the Queen Mary's Maternity Home in London, England.

The Charlottetown branch of the Queen Mary's Needlework Guild also gave its support to several charitable organizations, making regular financial donations to the Canadian Red Cross and the Save the Children Fund.

This fonds consists of three volumes of annual reports for the Charlottetown branch of the Queen Mary's Needlework Guild covering the period 1952-1970. The volumes also contain newspaper clippings about the activities of the branch, as well as statements documenting finances and expenditure. The fonds also includes a booklet describing the Order of Service for the Burial of Her Majesty Queen Mary, a copy of the book "Queen Mary's Needlework Guild: Its Work During the Great War", published by St. James' Palace and accompanied by a signed letter from Queen Mary. In addition, the fonds also contains several certificates that were granted to the branch in recognition of its valuable work, a copy of a speech delivered by Mrs. A. A. Bartlett describing the origins of the Queen Mary's Needlework Guild, as well as a photograph of the "Guild Home" in Quebec bearing an inscription to Mrs. Bartlett.
