Biographical history

Archibald E. Wilson was the son of Reverend E.F. Wilson and the husband of St. Clair Vidal Wilson. Rev. E.F. Wilson was at one time in charge of the Shingwauk and Wawanosh Homes at Sault Ste. Marie. Rev. E.F. Wilson moved to Elkhorn Manitoba in 1888 where he began to build an educational home for Indian children. The site was expanded and it evolved into an Industrial School. Rev. Wilson's son, Archibald E. Wilson, became Principal of the Indian Industrial School in 1892. Archibald E. Wilson and his family lived in Elkhorn, Manitoba, until 1918. Following the closure of the Elkhorn School in February of 1918, Wilson left Elkhorn to assume a new position as a clerk at an Indian Reserve near Gleichen Alberta.

Custodial history

Following Wilson's death the fonds was acquired by his daughter, Winifred St. Clair Wilson,who donated it to the McKee Archives.

Scope and content
