Our Collections

Ingenium Library and Archives is working continuously to make new materials available on Digital Archives. For the moment, images are available from the following collections:
 

mattingly

Aubrey Mattingly Transportation Collection

Aubrey Mattingly photographed and collected photographs of the rail networks in Ontario and Quebec from the late 1920s to 1983. The Collection includes black and white as well as colour prints and negatives. There are also colour and monochrome postcards and colour slides.

Canada Aviation Museum Photograph Collection

Canada Aviation Museum Photograph Collection

The Canada Aviation Museum (CAVM) Photograph Collection is a compilation of photographs donated to or acquired by the Museum from its opening in 1960. Small groups of photographs were donated by aviation enthusiasts, amateur aviation historians, or individuals with family photographs relating to aviation. The Collection also includes copy photographs from other major collections. Staff added to the Collection and maintained its card catalogue up until 1998. Although the Museum was still called the National Aviation Museum at this time, most digitization took place when the Museum was called CAVM, so the collection came to be known under its current name. It contain images of aircraft, people, places, and events and is organized into five series.

CN Images of the Canada Collection

CN Images of Canada Collection

The CN Images of Canada Collection consists of 100,000+ photographs (prints, negatives and transparencies) that record the development of Canadian National as it operated freight and passenger trains, hotels and resorts, ferry services and ocean steamships, and telecommunications. The images had a direct commercial purpose to promote or sell a travel product, document a technological innovation, record an event, or provide material for articles. CN photographers registered the images in a number of series designated by an alpha-numeric code. There are photographs that predate CN’s establishment in 1919 that may come from precursor companies or may have been acquired. The two largest series are the X series, the earliest series maintained until 1966, and the Numeric series, arranged by sequential number. The prints were further arranged into albums coded by province or theme and the scans in Digital Archives were made of the prints in these albums.

Ken Molson fonds

Ken Molson fonds

Ken Molson (1916-1996) learned to fly at Curtiss-Reid Flying School in Cartierville while he was a student at McGill University in Montreal. His long career in aviation began at his cousin’s company Dominion Skyways where he worked as a mechanic. He went on to work as an engineer for National Steel Car, Victory Aircraft, and Avro Canada. He became the first curator at the National Aviation Museum in 1960. He retired in 1967, but later donated a personal collection of archival material to the Museum that he had gathered over the years, including a large amount of photographs from companies and individuals. The first series of negatives from this fonds is gradually being made available.

Medical Sensations

This group of scans from our collection of medical trade literature and rare books was selected a compliment to the "Surgical Touch" section in the Canada Science and Technology Museum’s exhibition Medical Sensations. Through Medical Sensations we explore the role that the five senses have played in medicine throughout history to the present, and into the future. In the surgical section, we have displayed a variety of historic surgical instruments that demonstrate the sophistication of surgical touch over the years. These images provide further visual context for the practice of surgery, as well as its commercial dimensions.
