Associations, Clubs, Schools, etc.

Included, for the most part, are records associated with "non-profit" organizations and societies, such as the Protestant Orphanage, Queen Alexandra Solarium, and the S.P.C.A. There are exceptions, notably the case of the Colwood Park Association (established to promote professional horse racing in Victoria) and the Foundation Organizations Athletic Association (which sponsored professional baseball in the city). Similarly, the Royal Colwood Golf Club and St. Margaret's School both of which were run long business lines may seem out of place in a "non-profit" category. The activities of such organizations, however,differed from those of the retailers, manufacturers, and other firms documented in this collection, and for this reason the records of these organizations have been grouped together.
