In this area will be found my gleanings from a local newspaper, The Victoria Daily Colonist.  Clicking on the year will open the PDF document.  Items within document are in chronological order.  (The Portable Document File reader is a free download from Adobe here.)

     Document contains transcribed articles, not original page scans.  I've typed up them up myself, using prints off microfilm.  Microfilm and reader did not provide the best quality print output therefore the odd word or line is indistinguishable on the original.
