History of the Collection Post WWII
The collection was found in the Bobcaygeon library in the 1970s by Ruth Ewell. She was given the scrapbook to repair and each year she would show the scrapbook at the Royal Canadian Legion.
Ruth Ewell retained the scrapbook until 2005 when she donated it to Trent University Archives. The Archives retain the original, but made a copy for Ruth Ewell to take back to the library.
The photographs from the Cosh Collection were also used in the creation of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 239's 60th Anniversary book, created in 1992. It is included here at the end of the Cosh scrapbook.
Additionally, in 1979 a black and white copy of Cosh's Collection was printed and bound by the Lake Ontario Regional Library. The order of the pages and items differs from the scrapbook presented to Trent University Archives. When the scrapbook was digitized in 2014, it was found the pages and items differed from both the 1979 version and the version with Trent University Archives.
At some point the pages were marked with green and red pencil. These markings do not appear on the 1979 version. Otherwise, the notations on the pages are Amy's.
