In 1947, J. Clarence Webster, C.M.G., M.D., D.Sc., L.L.D., F.R.S.C., Chairman, Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada; Trustee, Public Archives of Nova Scotia; President of New Brunswick Museum; Honorary Curator of Fort Beausejour Museum, issued a revised edition of ''An Historical Guide to New Brunswick.'' It is arranged alphabetically, by topic, from “Aboriginal Pottery” to “Villebon, Chevalier Robineau de”, and was intended to encourage an interest in New Brunswick history by both residents and visitors. Dr. Webster was born in 1863 and did not consider his lifetime as “history,” his ''Guide'' is basically about the 17th, 18th and early 19th centuries.<ref>Douglas, Althea.
