USPG C series records relating to Upper Canada to c.1860

Collection: Canada in Records from Colonial Missionaries, 1722-1952    Volumes    USPG C series records relating to Upper Canada to c.1860
The many requests for funds included in this grouping, due to their narrative nature, do reveal details of what missionary life was like in Upper Canada between 1788 and 1859. Some of the more unusual items include a map of the 'Principle Settlements of Upper Canada', a newspaper article describing the dimensions and reasoning for building a new canal which appears to be the Cornwall Canal, and some drawings of requirements for the new church to be completed at Sandwich. Further information about these documents is available via this link.
