The fonds consists of black and white photographs, colour slides, black and white negatives, and contact sheets of examples of early Upper Canadian and Ontario furniture from a number of European and North American traditions including Anglo-American, German, Polish, French-Canadian, and others. These images were taken during the course of research for the author's book, 'The Heritage of Upper Canadian Furniture: A Study in the Survival of Formal and Vernacular Styles from Britain, America and Europe, 1780-1900', first published in 1978.
