McBride was first elected MLA in Dewdney constituency in 1898 and served as Premier of British Columbia from 1903 to 1915. Lottie Mabel Bowron was the secretary of Richard McBride The collection consists of two sets of papers which were kept in the same box, those of Richard McBride and those of Lottie Mabel Bowron. The original collection consisted of private papers of McBride. It appears that Lottie Bowron cared for the papers when McBride went to England in 1916. In 1916, Bowron transferred them to R.F. Green (see box 2, file 37). The box of papers was still in Green's possession in 1944. Subsequently the box was returned to Bowron and after 1958 came to the archives. The records include a confidential letterbook; correspondence between McBride, Borden and others concerning provincial, Dominion, and Imperial politics; correspondence concerning military and naval matters, defence, and the purchase of submarines during World War I. The records also include correspondence and papers of Lottie Mabel Bowron and newspaper clippings.
