George Hill fonds
CA ON00159 P225 · Fonds · 1940-2019 (predominant 1940-1962)

The George Hill fonds documents a period of 20 years of the Dominion Tar and Chemical Company Canada Creosoting Division, Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) creosote plant in Sudbury. Composed of photographs, a notebook of memorabilia with a preamble, records from the plant, and maps relating to the CPR Creosote plant in Sudbury, the fonds provides an overview of the operations and the workflow involved, but also illustrates the layout of the plant, including the different buildings and machinery. The preamble, consisting of comments and explanations by Hill, provides an understanding not only of the set up required to process creosote, but also of the different steps involved. Moreover, an engineering blueprint of the layout of the plant with references to photographs and annotations by George Hill offers a visualization of the plant and the machinery.

Sheets of wages, lists of employees and their roles at the plant, and a grievance on the work conditions complete this comprehensive presentation on the CPR creosote plant.

CAVM Photograph Collection
Collection · Reproduced 1960-2001 (originally created ca. 1908-1989)

The CAVM Photograph Collection was gathered by the National Aviation Museum over time in order to preserve a visual record of aviation in Canada. The Museum used these photographs in exhibits, for historical reference, for reference in constructing models, and for restoration projects. Some original photographs (prints or negatives) were added to the Museum’s permanent collection, but selections were also made from photograph albums, scrapbooks, and prints, that were then copied and returned. Contributors may have been the original photographers, sharing or donating their own work, or aviation enthusiasts or historians that had copied photographs from other collections. Many small groups of photographs were donated by individuals and families with connections to aviation. The Museum created preservation copy negatives of the selected photographs, giving each copy negative a sequential number. The Collection is arranged in three series: CAVM-1 Negatives, CAVM-2 Prints, and CAVM-3 Card catalogue. The card catalogue was created to facilitate access to the Collection. Each card has information on the photograph with a small print glued to the card as a visual reference. The catalogue has five Photographic Print (PP) sub-series: PP01 General Aircraft by Manufacturer; PP02 National Aviation Museum Collection (historical photographs of Museum aircraft or conservation photographs taken by Museum staff); PP03 People, Organizations, Events, Gliders/Blimps, Airports/Air Fields; PP04 Hawker Siddeley Canada; and PP05 Miscellaneous (Museum displays, events, public relations, staff, site, models and engines).

HS-2L Drawing Collection
CA ON00420 HDC · Collection · Reproduced ca. 1970 (originally created 1917-1918)

Collection consists of reproduced technical drawings of the Curtiss HS-2L flying boat. The original drawings were made by Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Corporation, Standard Aircraft Corporation, or Gallaudet Aircraft Corporation between 1917 and 1918. It is unclear when the reproductions were made, but assumed to have been ca. 1970 when the Museum was working on its reproduction of the aircraft. The drawings all have numbers and, as with most engineering drawings, this designation may have had a repeating logical pattern based on the subject’s relation to other parts of the aircraft or other drawings. For example, cockpit flooring drawings have similar numbers with only the third digit changing (i.e. 313263 Post Pilot’s Cockpit Flooring No.17 Right, 314263 Post Pilot’s Cockpit Flooring No.17 Left, 315263 Post Pilot’s Cockpit Flooring No.19 Right etc.). The drawings have been arranged sequentially by these numbers.
