Huge forest fires destroyed homes, barns, animals and acres of woodland in our part of PEI in August and September of 1960. My mother, Vivian Phillips, kept a scrapbook of newspaper clippings over those weeks, and that scrapbook has become a popular reference tool for school students and history buffs. Unfortunately the scrapbook has become fragile with age, so I have transcribed it and made it available here for download.

There are three PDF files in total. Please note that if you will be printing this document, the pages are formatted for 8.5" x 14" (legal size) paper.

I'd love to know who is downloading these documents, so please go to my contact page and send me a note!
