The chapel of the order is in the far eastern end of the crypt of St Paul's Cathedral, but it holds its great services upstairs in the main body of the cathedral.

 Female Imperialism and National Identity : Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (Studies in Imperi: ...
This is a study of the British Empire's largest women's patriotic organization, the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (IODE), formed in 1900 and still in existence.
The text examines the relationship between female imperialism and national identity, throwing new light on women's involvement in imperialism; on the history of "conservative" women's organizations; on women's interventions in debates concerning citizenship and national identity; and on the history of women in white settler societies.
It follows the IODE's history through the 20th century, focusing on its attempts to create a British Canada through its maternal feminist work in education, health, welfare and citizenship, and examines the complex relationship between imperial loyalty and settler nationalism, tracing the organization into the postcolonial era, where previous imperial ideas are outmoded.

In order to understand the importance of some of the salvaged materials during the war, let’s take a closer look at the following items: Iron and steel, oil, fat and bones, rubber and waste paper.

Pauline McGibbon's extensive contacts in Canada's arts community are amply documented in her fonds as are her activities in various cultural and arts organizations, but particularly the Dominion Drama Festival, and the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire (I.O.D.E.).
The diaries appear to document the most personal aspects of McGibbon's activities, specifically the things she did at her home: entertaining, corresponding, etc. The scrapbooks document her public activities, and are therefore most voluminous for the years of her Lieutenant Governorship.
There was no particular order to the papers upon their receipt by the Archives, with the exception of the diaries, scrapbooks and some groups of photographs.

 H-Net Review: Alan Gordon on Other Voices: Historical Essays on Saskatchewan Women
Nadine Small's examination of Saskatchewan's Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire (IODE) during the Great War points to the efforts of affluent "Anglo-Saxons" to publicize women's place in the Empire and to strengthen the sentiments that bound women together around the Throne.
The Daughters of the Empire were particularly active during the Great War of 1914-18, knitting, holding meetings, surrendering their sons and husbands for state service, and educating the "less patriotic" public.
Although Small presents the Prairie Daughters as largely detached from their male counterparts, this interplay across the borders of gender and sex might have broadened her study and further enhanced our understanding of the deeply felt attachment to Empire held by many late-Victorians.
