The fonds consists of histories for Killam, Galahad, Rimbey and Stettler hospitals that have been combined to create a history of the Alberta hospitals run by the Sisters of St. Joseph. Killam General Hospital was opened for the longest period of all these hospitals, and therefore a large quantity of the combined history is about this hospital. Along with the series for the histories of the four hospitals, there are series for commemorative and administrative materials. The fonds contains community histories, a timeline, staff listings, correspondence, newsletters, pamphlets, and photographs.
Killam General Hospital (Killam, Alta.)This series contains the records of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Hamilton, Ontario's mission in Kenilworth, Ontario. The Sisters of St. Joseph of Hamilton came to Kenilworth in 1924 to teach at a parochial school, teach continuation classes, as well as care for the altar and sanctuary in Sacred Heart Parish. Sacred Heart Catholic School opened in 1962 and the Sisters also taught there. The Sisters left in 1971, but teaching Sisters continued to commute to Kenilworth from Arthur until June 1976. Then, in 2004, the Sisters returned to Kenilworth to serve the various parishes of Kenilworth, Arthur, and Mount Forest, Ontario. At this time, the Sisters lived in the renovated rectory next to Sacred Heart Church. This series contains annals, a certificate of thanks, photographs, news clippings, historical summaries, financial reports, and correspondence.
