The calendar says that today is #HandwritingDay, so here are some great examples from our collections of handwriting. Featured are two pages from the records of the Order of the Royal Purple Lodge 38 Aldergrove, and from our Aldergrove Agricultural Association collection is the formation of the Building Committee in 1923.
The final image is of a note page found in our files, and we have absolutely no idea what it means or from whence it came. These items also show why being able to read cursive is a necessity when dealing with handwritten records, especially when it comes to indexing and transcribing archival materials.
