10 negatives and prints of medical illustrations - 17 illustration photos of a Wilder Penfield book.

Snapshots taken by James or his family and friends during his University of Pennsylvania years illustrate Philadelphia scenes, fellow students and friends, and voyages to Europe and South America. Photographs of a summer vacation in 1944, the Convocation dinner of 1949 and a journey to Hong Kong and Japan in the early 1960s round off this part of the collection. The greater part of these photographs are formal or professional pictures. These include prints from the press and NFB photographs of McGill convocations during World War II, scenes of student life (1959 and 1961) and McGill buildings (1945), McGill scenes (1962), the dedication of the Morgan Arboretum (1949), the High Altitude Research Project, the closing ceremonies of Dawson College, special events, and visitors to the campus. There are also formal portraits of James and his wife, including a series of studies done for the McGill News in 1962, and photographs taken at convocations conferring honorary degrees on James.

Many of these photographs depict structures and activities at the Montreal East Plant, ca. 1910-1940. Quarrying, loading docks, interiors and exteriors of buildings, trucks, and machinery are included. Many of the photographs depict industrial and harbour scenes in East Montreal. Other photographs, including an album by the Rice studio, depict the construction of the head office on Phillips Square, ca. 1920. There are also about 30 photos of the construction of Camp Borden in 1916. (Canada Cement Lafarge has retained for possible publicity uses photos of its other Canadian plants.)
