Robert A. Logan fonds
Fonds · 1919, 1934-1959, [1962]
Fonds consists of records related or possibly related to Robert A. Logan’s activities as a gold prospector in the area around Lake Charlotte, Halifax County, Nova Scotia. During the 1930s, Logan was Vice-President and manager of Prospectors Associated Activities Limited (sometimes abbreviated to PRASAC), a prospecting and mining company based in Lake Charlotte (then known as Ship Harbour Lake). Although he ceased his involvement with PRASAC in the 1940s, Logan may have continued prospecting in the area. The records are primarily related to the purchase of mining and ore-processing equipment and include correspondence, brochures, catalogues, instructions, invoices, receipts, and notes. Accompanying one letter from a manufacturer is a photo of an offered piece of equipment (a concentrating table). Also included are a handwritten table of supplies needed to feed eight men on a 10-week expedition, a typed summary of gold mining operations for the years 1935-1936 and the first quarter of 1937, drafts and instructions for a letterhead design for PRASAC, and a copy of a hand-drawn map sketching shipping routes between PRASAC’s headquarters and major cities in Atlantic Canada, Eastern Canada, and the Northeastern United States. Although most mining-related records are from the 1930s, some date to the 1940s, and one product brochure dates to 1919. Fonds also includes records related to Logan’s life and other activities in the Lake Charlotte area, including correspondence, instructions and brochures related to equipment which Logan bought for his home or personal use. Some instructions are prepared by Logan himself, including a set of handwritten notes and diagrams which details his repairs and installation of a well pump, as well as giving instructions for its use. In addition, fonds includes copies of a plan showing the lands of Lawrence Webber, Upper Lakeville, to be leased by the estate of J. Edward Webber, Lake Charlotte, dated August 8, 1967. Fonds also includes a photograph of Robert A. Logan and his wife Daisy (Barrett) Logan taken in May of 1962. Accession number 2010.006.
