Collection consists of a scrapbook, compiled by Annabel Yates, of Nanaimo people and places, and a mimeographed booklet titled "The History of Nanaimo 1852 to 1939". The booklet, compiled by members of Division One, Brechin Superior School, under the supervision of a teacher D.E. Brecenridge, contains illustrated historical articles with hand-drawn advertisements for local businesses.
Items were donated to the Nanaimo District Museum in an undocumented transaction and later transferred to the Nanaimo Community Archives. The scrapbook and the booklet, previously described as separate items, were combined as a collection in 2007.
