  • The Geography Collection COLL-137
    ARCHIVES and SPECIAL COLLECTIONS QUEEN ELIZABETH II LIBRARY MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY, ST. JOHN'S, NL The Geography Collection COLL-137 Website: http://www.library.mun.ca/qeii/cns/archives/cnsarch.php Author: Linda White and Claire Jamieson Date: 1999 Scope and Content: The Geography Collection consists of 1109 black and white photographs together with contact prints and negatives. These photographs depict many images of Newfoundland and Labrador houses, churches, public buildings, ships, railways, communities, and special events. The creation of these photographs was primarily the work of three prominent photographers: Robert Holloway, S.H. Parsons and James Vey. Through a special project initiated by the Geography Department of Memorial University of Newfoundland, the photographs were copied from the original glass negatives that were in the custody of the Newfoundland Museum but are now on deposit in the Provincial Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador. They were arranged and described in an annotated guide to the collection, The Historic Photographic Collection of the Department of Geography, in three volumes by Dr. Maurice Scarlett, professor of Geography, Memorial University of Newfoundland, and his wife, Shirley Scarlett. These photographs will be of interest to anyone seeking historic photographs of Newfoundland and Labrador. Custodial History: The photographs in this collection were copied from glass negatives held at the Provincial Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador. They were copied, arranged and described by members of the Geography Department, Memorial University of Newfoundland, including Michael Crane and Dr. Maurice Scarlett. Upon his retirement, Dr. Scarlett donated the photographs and negatives to Archives and Special Collections. Restrictions: There are no restrictions on access to or use of the materials in this collection.
