Correspondence and other textual material, received and assembled by Rev. Andrew MacDonell, and arranged as a file in chronological order perhaps by Clare Lawrence. Material relates to settlement schemes for Scottish immigrants to Canada and particularly to the settlement in 1926 of the Clandonald Colony in Alberta. The file includes correspondence retained by MacDonell beginning with letters of introduction in 1912 from British Benedictines to the Archbishop of Vancouver, some early 1920s letters related to MacDonell's efforts to bring Scottish settlers to farm in Ontario and 1920s letters regarding potential for Hebrideans to settle in the Atlantic provinces of Canada, correspondence regarding the industrial farm established in 1923 at Ard-Moire, Alberta, and other concerns of the Scottish Immigrant Aid Society.
