- Fonds consists of school report cards and certificates belonging to Dorothy Atkinson (nee Mallett) along with a Vancouver Daily Province Pioneer's Honour Roll Certificate awarded to her parents, Percy and Alice Mallett (nee Lowry).
- History
- Alice (nee Lowry) (1879-1954) and Percy Mallett (1882-1955) were married in Vancouver, British Columbia on January 26, 1910. Alice Lowry was born in Kinnear’s Mills, Quebec and Percy Mallett was born in Cornwall, England. Alice and Percy had four children Percival “Perc” (1916-1971), Alan (1919-2006), Dorothy (1923-2016) and a son who died in infancy. Alice and Percy resided in Vancouver until 1914. In 1915, they moved to 3965 Cambridge Street in Burnaby and lived there with their three children until 1934. The Mallett family lived at various other locations in Burnaby including 4119 East Hastings (1935-1937), 4075 Triumph Street (1938-1949) and 4211 Oxford Street (1950-1954). All three children attended Gilmore Avenue School and North Burnaby High School. After graduating from North Burnaby High School, Dorothy Mallett worked at B.C. Telephone and B.C. Electric in downtown Vancouver. Dorothy attended University of British Columbia for one year with her earnings from these jobs. While working at B.C. Electric, Dorothy met her future husband, Charles McDonald "Mac" Atkinson. In 1949, Dorothy Mallett married Charles McDonald “Mac” Atkinson at Willingdon Heights United Church in Burnaby with Dorothy’s brother, Reverend Percival Mallett officiating. In 1965, Dorothy and Mac moved to Nanaimo. Dorothy taught piano and was an accomplished singer and musician performing in various recitals. Dorothy died in 2016 and her husband Mac Atkinson died in 2012.

- Description
- Dress, c.1920-1925. Brown crepe with false ivory taffeta undershirt and scarf. Long sleeves, pleated fringe, celluloid buttons, slightly flared calf length skirt. The dress has a low rounded V neck with a collar that extends around the bottom with a pleated edge sewn on. Underneath the collar there is a panel of ivory fabric with two sashes that hang to the waist, tied at the bottom of the V neck. The panel is tacked on underneath the neckline. The sleeves have two small pleats at the sleeves. The ends are finished with a bias binding and placket, closed by snap fasteners. At the waistline there is a wide band that extends around the front and back of the dress. On the front left there are two vertical pleated scalloped bands on the left. To the left of each scallop is a gold and silver coloured celluloid button with a basket weave pattern on it. Beneath the band at the waist there is a slightly flared skirt. It opens on the left front side, under lapped by itself from the other side and tacked in place. The skirt ends at calf length, finished with a small double fold hem. On the right sleeve cuff, there is a label that reads: `Style', `Cloth', `11763', `Size...42', `Operator... CGG', `Remarks', `89', `Finisher...26', `E'; "Deckelbaum Inc. Montreal." The seams are left unfinished.
- Object History
- This dress was part of a collection of dresses acquired from a dry goods store in the Okanagan. The dresses were mainly "new" old stock from the 1920s, from two Rand’s Dry Goods stores in Penticton and Summerland, B.C. The stores closed down in 1930. The dresses are estimated to date from circa 1925 to 1930.

The sleeves are full length, with cuffs that close with a snap. At the dropped waist, there are straps that tie around the back, which is otherwise plain and unshaped. Below this there are two levels of skirt with tiny box pleats, lined with white cotton. The green panel is edged in beige and hangs down to the end of the top skirt. Its corner is tacked to this skirt. On the left sleeve cuff, there is a label that reads, `Size 38', `11.00', `5' "Deckelbaum & Eisenberg."
- Object History
- This dress was part of a collection of dresses acquired from a dry goods store in the Okanagan. The dresses were mainly "new" old stock from the 1920s, from two Rand’s Dry Goods stores in Penticton and Summerland, B.C. The stores closed down in 1930. The dresses are estimated to date from circa 1925 to 1930.
