Good photos - captions should all be at the National Archives of Canada website.

If you search by the photo number it should take you to the description.
Nice collection of photos - where did you obtain them in such a large size? The archives site has considerably smaller ones.
Michael,
How do you find out the captions of the above photos using the CollectionsCanada website? I can’t seem to find out how to input the numbers.
let me know:)
Library & Archives Canada is much better:
