Copy of Biography

The fonds consists of correspondence, minutes and financial records.

The fonds consists of correspondence; subject files; financial and legal records; Daybooks with accompanying Indices; writings; diplomas and certificates; photographs; and videocassettes providing a detailed portraiture of the 'country doctor' in Eastern Ontario from the late 19th to the mid- 20th century.

The collection consists of non-photographic, panoramic maps of various Canadian cities and urban centres including Halifax, Lunenburg, Moncton, Montreal, Sherbrooke, Sorel, Brantford, Kingston, London, Ottawa, Port Arthur, Simcoe, St. Catharines, Tillsonburg, Toronto, Morris, Winnipeg, Victoria, and Yukon. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, major Canadian cities and urban centres followed a North American trend in having panoramic maps - more commonly called bird's-eye views - prepared. These non-photographic illustrations viewed cities from above at an oblique angle - a remarkable achievement in the days before aerial photography. They showed street patterns, major landscapes, and a variety of structures including churches, mansions, single dwellings, industrial plants, office blocks, retail and wholesale businesses, and government buildings.

Scrapbook of clippings pertaining predominantly to social mores, habits and customs. The earliest items seem to date from 1801, with the latest being 1839. There seems to be a focus on material of Irish interest, also many clippings pertaining to Lord Byron and Napoleon. There is no indication as to who collected this material, or who wrote the poetry, reflections or copied letters. Many different hands appear in the book. Of particular note are Garrison Orders for Fort St. George in response to the incidents at Vellore in 1806.
