Faded teacher employment contract between a schoolteacher and the School Municipality of Old Harry, part of the County of Gaspé, Province of Quebec.
The form is printed in black ink with handwritten entries added in ink that has since faded to near invisibility.
The text outlines standard teacher duties and regulations mandated by Quebec’s Department of Education, including maintaining registers, following prescribed texts, and teaching daily except Sundays and holidays.
Visible traces of handwriting suggest the teacher’s and chairman’s names were entered, though they are now difficult to decipher.
The paper shows creases, small tears at the top, and slight discoloration consistent with age and handling.
