Biographical history
This scrapbook was created by Harold Scribner, a resident of Kingston, Kings County, New Brunswick. The book records his interests and the highlights of the community over three decades. Kingston Parish, and the community of the same name, were established in 1786, and were settled early by Loyalists fleeing from the newly independent United States.
Custodial history
The scrapbook was lent to the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick in 1979 by Mrs. Margaret Duplisea, of Fredericton, New Brunswick, who had borrowed it from Mrs. Lily G. Scribner, the widow of the creator Harold Scribner. It was photocopied and returned to the owner.
Scope and content
The scrapbook contains newspaper clippings from local papers about local events. Many record Scribner family events, weddings, awards and births. Others include stories about ferries on the St. John River, murder, and other historical events in the Kingston, Kings County area.
