Industrial Mile - Africville Area: Land Ownership and Buildings
Item · 26-Jul-62
Item consists of original and copy of a map showing land ownership and location of buildings in Africville. The original map is in black and white, and the legend lists Dwellings, Other Buildings, Buildings Demolished, Incinerator and Abattoir Buildings, N.S.L. & P. Towers, Baptist Church Africville, Boundary of Land Expropriated by the City, Boundary of C.N.R. Property, and Boundary of NS Co-operative Abattoir Ltd. Each of these features are indicated on the map, and most buildings are numbered. Map shows the footprint of buildings, topographic lines, railway lines, and the shore-line. The second map appears to be a copy of the first with the original drawing number P500/46 crossed out, and R-129 handwritten underneath. It shows the same area and gives the same legend, though colour has been added to the legend and the map to make buildings and boundaries more identifiable, presumably at least in part because the copying process did not adequately show the patterns used in the legend of the original map to designate different buildings.

Janet Matheson's images of RCAF Women's Division in Nova Scotia
Item · 1941-1946
Item consists of material collected by Janet Matheson during her stay in Halifax during WWII when she appears to have volunteered with RCAF Women's Division. Photographs are of Halifax, air force bases at Stanley, NS and trips to Sydney, Bridgewater, Liverpool, PEI, and perhaps Saskatchewan, some with frieds "Betty and Marg". Some show the ship "Huron" and the participants in the No. 12 Service Police Course at Trenton Air Station, 1941. The one labelled Corporal Ken Matheson was a joke as Janet's brother would have been 14 or 15 at the time, probably wearing a friend's uniform. Postcards are not written on and mainly depict Windsor and Kentville, with two of the SS Prince Edward Island ice breaker, one of an airman beside an airplane and a 1946 postcard of the RMS Queen Elizabeth entering Halifax Harbour. One postcard of the Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan train station was written to Ken Matheson (Janet's brother) in Halifax in 1944. An undated newsclipping is a photo of the members of the Eastern Air Command RCAF Women's Division at their farewell banquet at the Nova Scotian Hotel, with a caption naming everyone; neither Mathesons nor Noseworthy are listed.
