Black and white photograph of Mary Macdonald, a thin young lady leaning forward in a wicker chair, with her hands clasped on her lap. She wears a white dress with a black sash; her hair is dark and her expression vacant.
a black and white photo of nine men in overalls and shirts and hats, sitting randomly upon a wooden structure that supports a load of lumber laid in a single row; in the background stand tall trees.
A black and white photo of Sir John A. Macdonald, an older gentleman, wearing a woolen suit holding a pair of spectacles.
Photo of a black and white poster advertising the Canadian Pacific Railway, featuring large lettering and three photographs of Ottawa.
A black and white photo taken in 1885, with over a hundred gentlemen in dark woolen suits surrounding one, Sir Donald A. Smith, who is poised above a piece of railroad track, wearing a top hat and holding a large hammer against the track, about to drive the last railroad spike for the Canadian Pacific Railway.
A black and white photograph of an old wooden church with a steeple at the front, and a two-storey minister's house erected quite close to the front of the church.
Lady Agnes Macdonald dressed in a long black dress standing in front of a hearth, next to a fur coat which is draped over a chair.
A colour, side-view photograph of St. Bartholomew's, an old wooden church with a front steeple. In the photo's foreground is a gravestone and in the background, trees and sky.
Colour photograph of St. Bartholomew's Anglican church interior, wooden pews, wooden backdrop to altar, a plain wall in the centre of which is a stained glass window.
A colour photograph of a wooden slat-backed, painted chair with a woven seat which is so worn it is almost unattached to the frame of the seat on one side. The round-knob handles of the chair, and the armrests themselves, are so worn that all the paint has come off that part. The chair has been placed in front of a wooden pew behind which there are rows of pews. The wide floorboards of the church floor are unpainted and dry.
Black and white photograph of a man (Lord Monck) standing, leaning on a folded-up umbrella, his other hand held behind his back. There is a chair next to him on which sits a top hat. The man has a full beard and is dressed in a double-breasted woolen overcoat.
