This collection consists of photographs relating to the development of Western University. It is an artificial collection that was created by Western University Archives and Special Collections and its predecessors.
The collection consists of photographs created by Henry G Hines (Harry) and William H. Hines (Bill) over the course of the operation of his photographic studio in London from 1906-1929. The collection includes original glass plate photographic negatives commissioned by various City of London affiliates, local businesses, private individuals and the photographer's personal photographs. There are images of London with focus in east London mainly of industry, manufacturing and commercial for promotion and Port Stanley scenes. Also included are prints, and copies of Hines' photographs collected by Alan Noon and copy prints and digital images of all photographs created by Noon and given as part of the donation.
This photograph album was likely prepared for advertising and promotional purposes by the O'Connor and Lancaster firm, or "Popular Photo Studio". It contains prints of London, Ontario, scenes, as well as advertising and promotional information about London and some of its businesses.

Fonds ·
undated, ca. 1930-1959
This fonds consists of J.E. Evans work as photographer when taking images across Ontario and using them to produce postcard views. The photographic negatives are for communities or geographic features within counties and districts across Ontario. There is more extensive coverage for Eastern and Northern areas of Ontario. Evans focused his photography on small towns and villages, beaches, camp grounds, lakes and rivers. There is some postcards for a small number of the negatives within the fonds or for images for that no negatives exist.
This fonds is comprised of b&w photographs scanned for the Western Archives from photograph albums loaned to us by Westland descendants in 2006. The photographs were selected from the albums based on their local interest in the topics photographed. There are scanned copies of pictures of London and Middlesex County (including areas now part of London including Lambeth and Byron), Port Stanley, Sarnia and other surrounding villages and rural areas in southwestern Ontario. Westland took the photographs between ca.1905-12. There are many local landmarks, events and views that were of interest to Leonard Westland.
