McLennan Family Fonds. (RBSC-ARC 1709 / Box 6)

HELLO, my favourite box I came across yesterday in UBC’s RBSC was the McLennan Family’s Letters and wax seal stamps.

The McLennan family immigrated to Canada in 1802. They came via the “Neptune” from Scottland and settled in Ontario. Their family branched into some of Canada’s most noteworthy companies, reaching myriad industries such as coal, transportation, shipping, newsprint and banking. The fonds I had the pleasure of spending time with yesterday included family crests, letters, and even a beautiful little travel sketch book filled with watercolors. If you would like more information on the biography of the McLennan family, you can find it on UBC RBSC website through this link.
