The documents were found by Ms. Matiece (Richardson) many years ago while her father was an engineer on the hydro dam project at Stewartville. She remembered that many papers were scattered about in the old Stewartville Town Hall, and she and her father retrieved some of these documents. The papers were in her possession for many years; when she heard about the Arnprior Archives she made this important donation.
