With the various changes in management structure since the time of David Allen, records were originally kept in the office of David Occipinti, A/V Technician. In anticipation of the demolition of the Bell Wing, the file cabinets of photographs were passed onto Kathryn Rumbold, Manager of the Artifact Collection, and then eventually to a storage room in the administrative buildings (R. Fraser Elliot), before being transferred to the Archives. Some photographs from the University Health Network era (post-1999) seem to have been inserted into this series. Additional files not in the original file list have also been added, some out of order.

Series consists of photographs taken and collected by the Department during the time of David Allen as part of the Public Relations Department’s Photo and Slide Library. Files include photographs of Administration (former and current) of The Toronto Hospital, Trustees, Auxiliary, Dignitaries and Celebrities, Medical Staff, Residents, and so-called “historical archive files” referring to photographs of buildings, sites and past events. Some of the files also include newspaper clippings, enlargement and usage notations, speeches or programs, cataloguing information, consent forms, and mock-ups or samples of publications for which the photographs were used. Photographs were used for publications and other activities of this Department. Some of the material may also have been produced or used by IMS Creative Communications, a sub-department reporting to the Toronto General Hospital’s Public Relations Department.

Original consent forms are not part of this series. The original file list can be found in file 2.4.1. Subject files are arranged alphabetically. Staff and students are listed by their surname and then their given name. Headings have been included in the file list to indicate index tabs. Handwritten changes and additions to original file titles have been included as part of the file title.
