Charlottetown (P.E.I.) - Photographs
Micmacs - Photographs
Prince Edward Island - Social life and customs - Photographs
The fonds consists of 157 images. These have been reproduced from 57 glass plates and 95 nitrate negatives. Once copy negatives were produced the nitrate negatives were disposed of. There are 21 original images which match the nitrate negative images as well as 3 mounted originals and two postcards. Subjects of images include churches and other buildings, Micmacs, vessels, rural and beach scenes. Many are of Charlottetown locations and events. There are interior images of Moore and MacLeod, Drake's Meat Market, and St. Paul's and Trinity churches as well as two shots taken at Smith's Hotel in Hampton. A large portion of the collection consists of candid shots of Charles Drew, Mamie Gillespie, and friends in recreational activities such as picnics and visits to the shore, including bathing. The two postcards are of the C.G.S. Minto. Some of the images in the collection, particularly the glass plate negatives, appear to be the work of A. W. Mitchell. It is likely the other photographs were taken by Charles Drew and Mamie (Gillespie) Drew.
