Scope and content
The album contains black and white photographs chiefly of St. Anthony and the Grenfell Mission. A number of photographs depict the Mission dogs and dogsled racing. The photographs are dated between winter 1922-1924, with many undated. The photographs depict many scenes of landscapes, coastlines, boats, local scenes in St. Anthony, and interior scenes, such as the Mission at Christmas time. Staff members at the Grenfell Mission feature frequently, individually and in two group portraits. Some named in the captions include the Newells and Dr. Curtis. A handful of photographs feature Inuit and Innu families. In addition to photographs, there are two black and white postcards.
