Il s’agit d’un rapport sous la forme d’un album de coupures où on trouve des exposés tapés directement sur les pages et des cartes et photographies collées sur le papier. Un officier supérieur de l’Aviation royale avait demandé à Beard de rédiger ce rapport traitant de son voyage à bord du navire Nascopie de la Compagnie de la Baie d’Hudson, en juillet 1935. Dans son introduction, Beard a écrit « My opinions are naturally of limited value, as no opportunity presented itself for me to have actual flying experience… I have therefore endeavoured to view matters as if I was to be a passenger in an aircraft, contemplating a flight to the areas mentioned, and that the pilot was dependent on me for advice as to details, or contingencies likely to be experienced. » (Mes avis sont d’une valeur limitée, naturellement, parce que je n’ai pas eu l’occasion de piloter. J’ai donc essayé de m’imaginer en tant que simple passager d’un aéronef, contemplant ce vol dans les zones mentionnées, mais responsable de donner des conseils au pilote sur certains détails ou sur les éventualités susceptibles de survenir). Parmi les photographies, au moins six sont des photographies aériennes, les autres ayant vraisemblablement été prises pendant son expédition à bord du Nascopie. La plupart des cartes sont tracées à la main, à l’encre noire, avec quelques touches de couleur. Les légendes des photographies et le titre sur la couverture sont également écrits à la main, à l’encre noire. Historique de la conservation : Inconnu. Vraisemblablement une pièce de la Collection aéronautique nationale.

The Zepha Trevorrow fonds consists of 15 postcards and two letters that Ed Trevorrow sent to his wife, Zepha, while in Northern Ontario in 1911. The fonds gives insight into the life of a gold prospector in Northern Ontario in the early 1900s. Indeed, not only does Ed Trevorrow report of his gold prospecting to his wife, but the correspondence also accounts for the different locations visited between July 10 and August 15, 1911.
Although Trevorrow travelled between Timmins and North Bay, and even on the Québec side of the region of Temiscaming, the images of the postcards mostly depict the South Porcupine 1911 fire, and early mine settlements of the same area.
