Custodial history
The British Columbia and Yukon Church Aid Society purchased the manuscript from its author, H. P. K. (Horace) Skipton, in 1914 after deciding not to publish it. Archbishop Sexton acquired the manuscript in 1958 and inntended to publish it. This did not materialize, and the manuscript was held by Archbishop Sexton's wife after her husband's death in 1972. The manuscript was sent to Archbishop G.P. Gower some years later, at the death of Archbishop Sexton's wife.
Scope and content
Collection consists of H.P.K. Skipton's manuscript "The Life of George Hills, first Bishop of British Columbia" with annotations, introduction and notes by Archbishop H.E. Sexton, and related correspondence; historical typed and printed material. Includes the printed Sermon preached by Bishop Hills at the farewell service celebrated before his departure (1859), as well as the tenth annual report of the Columbia Mission (1868); includes also the typed copy of "The early days of the Church of England on the Pacific Slope" by Walter N. Sage [s.d.]
