Ryan Brothers, Limited (Trinity) fonds
Fondos · 1906-1947

The fonds consists mainly of the financial records for the firm of Ryan Brothers of Trinity from the time the firm was established in 1906 to the end of the 1940s. Records include ledgers, which give individual accounts; day books, which record daily purchases and prices; store books, which provide details of the Ryan wholesale trade; inventory books; fish collections relating to the Labrador trade at Hawke Harbour; a statement of the firm's liabilities and assets, 1948. For much of the period of the firm's operation at Trinity, business was carried out through the barter or truck system. The exchange of goods for services, fish or produce is recorded in the ledgers. Also included are two volumes from an earlier period: Shareman's wages, 1904-1905, and a debt ledger for 1892-1893. It is possible that these volumes originated with James Ryan & Company King's Cove or Bonavista.

The fonds is arranged in four series: Series 1: Financial records, 1906-1947; Series 2: Correspondence, 1921-1948; Series 3: Labrador trade, 1908-1909; Series 4: Predecessor records, 1892-1905.
