Charles E. Bryant
Fonds · 1895-1956
Fonds consists of personal diaries, notebooks, family photographs, a photograph album of ships, Halifax Harbour and Dockyard passes, and home movies. Charles Bryant kept daily diaries of his social activities in Halifax, with occasional references to business contacts, from 1908 to 1956, though not for every year. The notebooks document ships travelling through Halifax Harbour 1895-1920, giving dates of arrival, departure, and freight amounts for lobster and apples, supplemented by photographs of the ships taken during their visit. Album also includes images of ships and parts of the city damaged by the Halifax Explosion of 1917. The home movies show people relaxing at the beach, playing golf and baseball in Stanhope, Prince Edward Island, parts of a family wedding, and landscapes of the Cabot Trail, NS, Lunenburg, NS, and New York Harbor. The movies document the Bryant and Stairs family Christmas in Halifax and vacations in Stanhope, PE during the Second World War and in the 1950s. 2016-048
