Custodial history
The map containing captions was used by Eric Robinson's parents in England. In 1965, Eric sent this map to his parents so that they could understand and relate to the sites around town, since Eric and his family had just moved to St. Albert from England, when Eric sent a letter describing what was happening in the family's daily life. It was one of the first items Eric sent home to his parents, so that they could see Canadian Life as it was represented in St. Albert.
