HISTORY/BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Rosina Septilia Evans received a teaching certificate in 1893 in England. From 1914 to 1919, she volunteered in England and Australia as a nurse and an anticonscriptionist. During the war, she survived several Zeppelin raids. After the war, she moved to Vancouver and looked for teaching work in Alberta. She failed to secure a position in Alberta, but took a position in Manitoba on the Galician settlement of Sandy Lake as a doctor, nurse, and teacher. In 1926 the Registrar of the Board of Education in Edmonton referred her to school administrators in Vegreville, Vermilion and St-Paul because she spoke Russian and French (in addition to English and Spanish). It is unknown if she found a teaching position in Alberta.
CUSTODIAL HISTORY:The letters were donated to the Provincial Archives of Alberta by the NAIT staff who found them in the desk of an empty office at NAIT. The donor did not know when and how the letters came to Edmonton and for how long the letters remained in this desk before being found.
SCOPE AND CONTENT: The fonds consists of letters between Rosina Septilia Evans and the Board of Education in Edmonton. This correspondence was written or received by R. S. Evans when she wished to obtain a teaching position in Alberta.
