The records in the fonds were created, collected, or used by Rev. Dr. Robert Crouse.

The majority of these records pertain to Crouse’s life as a theologian and as an educator. The records cover Crouse’s lectures (with particular interest in Dante and Augustine), syllabi and course outlines, sermons, research, parochial records, university communications (Dalhousie and King’s), committee minutes (Dalhousie and King’s), music, personal and work correspondence, photographs, books, floppy discs, cassettes, and memorabilia. These records reflect Crouse’s roots at King’s, as well as his experiences in other countries, namely the United States and Italy.

The records in the fonds were created, received, or used by the Alexandra Society. These records were stored in various spaces across the King’s College campus and at society member’s homes before being donated to or acquired by the University of King’s College Archives. The oldest records (before the turn of the century) were found in storage in the Arts and Administration building by Assistant Librarian Patricia Chalmers and Dr. Henry Roper. Most other records slowly accumulated as the various Alexandra Society branches folded.

The primary activities of the Alexandra Society were to raise money for scholarships (for women and Anglican students) and the general well-being of King’s College. The records cover the Alexandra Society’s finances, meeting minutes, and general comraderie. There are many photographs that document fundraising efforts. These records reflect the society’s Anglican origins.
