FA-415 Photographs of the Canadian National Land Settlement Association Prepared by Keri Cronin, Queen=s University under the supervision of Dr. Joan M. Schwartz Introduction This finding aid provides location information for photographs found within permanent government containers. These photographs document immigrants during the 1925-30 , and were produced by the Colonization and Agriculture Department of the Canadian National Railways. Photodossiers of immigrants arriving to Canada were created by the Canadian National Railways intending to “promote both passenger and freight traffic - by inducing immigration and directing settlement and economic development to their territory. (Osborne 166). Brian S Osborne’s essay ‘Constructing the State, Managing the Corporation, Transforming the Individual: Photography, Immigration and the Canadian National Railways 1925-30’ is included in this finding aid as information that explores why the Canadian National Railways would have produced such photography. The photographs were not physically separated out from the dossiers by the National Archives as part of their archival arrangement. This finding aid lists material created within the Canadian National Land Settlement Association program. One aim in making this report available alongside other photography finding aids is to identify the location within the government containers the individual photographs may be located, for researchers primarily interested in studying the visual record. Note 1: Individual photographs, albums, and photographic reports (or photodossiers) can be found in the following locations: 4958005 Canadian National Land Settlement Association photographs (attached to the series Canadian National Railways Photographs) 5085592 : Canadian National Land Settlement Association Reports and Photographs (attached to the series 180433 Colonization and Agriculture Department and Canadian National Land Settlement Association) Note 2: Updated in 2020 with additional information with regards to where the volumes are attached in MIKAN.
