AUDIT ROW #388 · COUNTY LIBRARY AND SOCIETY CATALOGUES, TESTED
No community-written history, memoir, or study of a Black Walkerton stands in the county library's or the historical society's catalogues as reached. The negative is printed with its proportion stated: a community that counted nine to twenty persons in the modern censuses leaves its record in other people's files — the census schedules, the town paper, the county's institutions — rather than in a literature of its own, and the scholarship test's function in this section is to record that the looking was done. The one local-history work dug by this wave (Sherland's The Island, authors addendum) treats the farming district west of town and names its settlers from the paper's columns; no Black household of the Island district is named in the record of it reached here. Settler for the residue: the society's manuscript and photograph holdings, which catalogues summarize and only reading settles.
