The Andrew Merrilees collection is the result of Merrilees' collecting activities in the areas of railways, shippings, and Toronto's social life over many years.

This includes: panoramic photographs taken by Mr. Rickard, owner of the Panoramic Camera Company in Toronto; photos of locomotives built by the Canadian Locomotive Company and taken by Mr. Henderson of Kingston; photos by Ira Bexted of rural scenes from the 1930's; photos of Toronto scenes by Frank W.
