    • Summary:The fonds consists of two separate streams of documentation. The first consists of documents, photographs, and artifacts pertaining to the operations of a succession of sawmills and wood manufacturing plants founded by Stanley Merriam Simpson and assumed by his son, Horace B. Simpson in the Okanagan area. The second stream consists of the materials generated by Sharron J. Simpson. Sharron J. Simpson's records within this aggregation are primarily in relation to legal proceedings against the City of Kelowna in pursuit of the maintenance of the Simpson Covenant. In the 2000s, the City sought to dissolve the Covenant; Sharron J. Simpson founded the Save the Heritage Simpson Covenant Society to challenge this initiative. In total fonds consists of approximately 2,600 photographs in various forms, including some duplicates. Textual record provides documentation of legal proceedings, finances, operations, safety initiatives, administration, civic engagement, publicity, and labour relations relating to mill business, general family research, and writing samples. Artifacts include exemplars of production and souvenir materials.
