Betty Odlum fonds
Fonds · [187-?]-2015, predominant [ca. 1925] - 2004

Fonds consists of records created and/or collected by Brampton resident Betty Odlum. The majority of the fonds consists of photographic slides and prints created and/or collected by Betty.

The photographs document a wide range of Brampton area properties, buildings, events, and people, with a particular focus on downtown Brampton, the Dale Estate, and Lorne Avenue.

The fonds also contains a small amount of non-photographic material collected or created by Betty, including scrapbooks, programs, and an Odlum family marriage certificate. An Odlum family history album found in the fonds will likely be of much use to those interested in the history of the Odlum family, an early settler family in the Toronto Gore area.
