On  Friday, August 20, 2004, together with Lynda Krause (research transcript assistant), I visited the Harriet Irving Library.  The following reels were examined:

This DesBarres Series was further researched in December, 2006 at the Public Archives of Nova Scotia.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• This series holds numerous Sparrow and Fortress of Louisbourg references. It also has many references to building supplies which would be of interest to the Fortress. Based on 2004 research, it is recommended that the Fortress purchase reels 1-3 for certain, and a recommendation regarding reels 4-7 will be made when these are examined at a later date.
