Biographical history

Custodial history
Scope and content
Fonds consists of photographs depicting the Lake Timiskaming District of Ontario and its Quebec counterpart (Temiscaming), ca. 1900. The fonds is made up of a variety of formats, and subjects include steamships, landscapes, and views of activities such as fishing and farming. As well, there are photos of aboriginal peoples, including families and groups of people canoeing, hunting and camping. Many of the photographs were taken by Montreal photographer J.G.S. Bennett, while some were taken by B. Charron as well as by Jones.
Fonds includes 2 photograph albums consisting of interior and exterior views of steamships. As well, the albums contain views of rivers and rapids, railroads and settlements, farms and blacksmithing.
Also, 13 glass plate negatives are included, with images depicting a house and views of a body of water. The house may be that of Jones, while the body of water may be Lake Timiskaming or the Ottawa River.
As well, there are 61 photographs taken by J.G.S. Bennett as well as by unknown photographers. The images depict scenery along Lake Timiskaming, the Montreal and Kipiwa Rivers, C.P.R. crews, and aboriginal peoples. As well, there are views of a fort (perhaps Fort Timiskaming), an interior storage area with produce, a wedding portrait, and a photograph of Edward VIII (as Prince of Wales) canoeing through timber slides near Ottawa.
Fonds also contains 20 postcards [190-]- [192-?] depicting ships and ports along Prescott, Ontario as well as Lake Huron or Georgian Bay. The postcards were collected by Jones.
