 Hi, my name is Marcia Mordfield. I'm a catalogue technician here at the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa, Ontario. Welcome to the Archives! One of the collections that we have consists of over 40,000 drawings. This collection is used by restores from different historical societies and museums who are restoring Canadian Pacific locomotives, but primarily it is used by model makers. The earliest item we have in the archives would probably be from this collection. We have drawings from the late 1890s and probably even earlier actually. This is our CN collection. What you're looking at right now are the albums, so these are the prints. It's an absolutely gorgeous collection. The photographs were all taken by photographers that were hired by CN and the main purpose really was to photograph Canada for travel purposes. This is a photograph of a helicopter putting the antenna on the top of the CN tower. Right now you see I have my coat on. That means that it's time to go in the freezer. Follow me! This is where we store our negatives. As it's the only freezer on site at the museum, there are some artifacts stored in here as well. The room is full of many different amazing and a variety of collections. I want to show you some of the brochures and pamphlets that CP sent out. Here's an example of one of their brochures traveling the Pacific. You could just see the incredible detail that they put into their brochures. They're stunning. It would talk about the place that you were going to give you a bit of a history. In this collection we also have voyage reports and what that is is a report would be made about the conditions of the water. Just a whole report of what happened during the voyage. We get quite a few requests to have those copies in the hopes that maybe somebody's name is mentioned but also to give the family a feel of what their family went through. Today I showed you three archival collections that happened to be my favorite. The archives are certainly open to the public. We recommend an appointment to make sure that the staff is here. Our photos are up on various photo galleries on our website. Thank you for coming today.
