Hugill operated a photo studio in Ingersoll, Ontario, initially in conjunction with his father, John, and later on his own.

Gibson used the photos in writing books about Keewaydin Island and the Hugill studio.

Photographs in this collection consist of negatives and prints of family members and studio customers as well as interiors and exteriors of homes and businesses in the Ingersoll area, boats and cottages on Keewaydin and surrounding islands, and events in the Ingersoll and Muskoka areas.

The photographs included in this collection consist of individual and group portraits often taken at weddings, reunions, social events, and YWCA camps in Aylmer and St. Marys, Ontario.

The photographs in this collection consist of family portraits, some of which were used to illustrate David L. Gibson's book on the Foulds family.
