Scope note(s)

  • The Archives preserves many collections related to sports in the Peterborough area.
  • Especially notable are records of the Peterborough Cricket Club. Our most prolific group of papers, however, pertains to the history of organized youth camping. We are the depository for the records of the Ontario Camping Association, the Canadian Camping Association and the Society of Camp Directors. Associated with the camping records is a collection of promotional brochures issued by various camps, and numerous pamphlets and books. These items are all located in the Archives. The books have been catalogued as a Special Collection and appear in OMNI, the library catalogue, with the designation "CP". We also preserve a complete collection of OCAsional News and Canadian Camping Magazine.

          Edith Fowke manuscript
          97-1016 · Item · [1965]

          This 8-page, typewritten manuscript is entitled "Folk Songs of Peterborough" and consists of a brief overview of the folk song tradition of the Peterborough area. Fowke indicates that the Peterborough region is one of the richest in Ontario and credits this in large part to the significant Irish representation in the County. She mentions by name individuals who can sing old songs brought from the old country, or songs learned in the lumbering shanty and carried down from generation to generation. She quotes songs that give specific reference to places such as Kinmount, Omemee, Gannon's Narrows, Tory Hill, etc. Farming traditions, love ballads, and jail terms all find their places in the canon.
