Oct., 2014: Mackenzie Family Fonds

The Mackenzie Family fonds is one of the City’s premier collections, composed of textual records and other ephemera, predominately from 1880-1974. Chronicling the careers, military experience and personal lives of various members of the Mackenzie family, the fonds is an excellent source for genealogical research and includes significant information about Donald and Addison Alexander (Major ‘Lex’) Mackenzie. Spanning over 3.36 meters of textual records, the fonds consists of family business documents, letters, drawings and newspaper clippings, as well as World War I correspondence, photos and maps from Donald and Lex. Additional materials from Lex’s municipal career at the Village of Woodbridge are also included within the fonds, in addition to audio visual material, medals and a Victorian officer’s infantry sword.
