The Loyal Orange Lodge was one of the first establishments in the McKellar community and some of the oldest documents are the membership certificates of its members. You can now see the digitized versions of these on this site at the Loyal Orange Lodges page.
The original documents are followed in order by the envelopes in which they were packaged.
Note that the pictures can be seen somewhat larger if you are to right click on them and select 'Open Picture in New Tab' or 'Open Picture in New Window'.
Some of these documents are quite creased, making the digitization that much more complicated. A few were quite damaged. However, they all are very elaborate documents. While the digitization process will see that they are handled less but still can be enjoyed, the actual physical documents are quite something to see. From the paper quality to the seals and ribbons, these are really great treasures for the Evelyn Watkins Heritage Room.
