The Fernwood Files by John J. Ellis and Charles Lillard is a 1989 local history that traces the evolution of Victoria's vibrant Fernwood neighborhood from the 1840s through the late 20th century. Through a blend of personal recollections and detailed historical records, the book explores the area's original landowners, residential growth, and foundational institutions like its early schools and hospitals. Ultimately, it serves as a rich community archive that preserves the unique character and historical development of one of the oldest urban districts in British Columbia's capital.
