BOX 20: Stella Walters• Cookbooks

Dr. Walters offered to the Museum a large collection of recipes, collected by his mother, Stel l a Wagar Walters from her marriage in 1906 until her death in 1978 . Most of the collection consisted of thousands of undated clippings from unidentified newspapers, most extremely acidic and discoloured, fragile - some stained and incomplete. There were also a number of cookbooks obtained as premiums with certain products, as well as a number of common, published cookbooks. The historical value of this material was limited.

However, in the group offered by Dr. Walters were a number of very interesting cookbooks. These have been kept by the Museum . Each offered one or more special features such as: association with a local business; association with a Canadian business, plus an early date; quality of illustration; or documentation of a particular fashion in food.
