              Photographs
              Series · [193-?], [ca. 1967]
              Part of W. Hugh Conrod fonds
              Series forms part of W. Hugh Conrod fonds and consists of a numbered set of black-and-white photographic negatives, as well as prints of the negatives. The photographs were taken sometime probably in the 1930s and are of locations and people on the Eastern Shore and elsewhere in the Eastern mainland Nova Scotia. Sometime around 1967, when the Dartmouth Heritage Museum was opened, Conrod made the prints in his own darkroom and displayed copies of them in the museum. Series also includes strips of negatives and prints of photographs taken of the presentation panels used in this display. The panels include captions identifying the locations of the photographs and on one of the panels there is also a caption which reads, “Pictures taken on a walk from Dartmouth to Antigonish. 175 miles. Time 5 ½ days.” Conrod acquired the negatives from someone who possibly took them in association with a work of travel literature. The route taken by the photographer was possibly on the road now known as Nova Scotia Highway 7, and Eastern Shore locations from Lake Echo to Ecum Secum are identified. Not all identifications are necessarily accurate, however, as they were identified by Conrod and not by the original photographer. Locations are also written on the backs of some of the prints and do not always coincide with locations on the display captions. The negatives each have a number from one to twenty, although five of the original twenty are missing. The print of negative number two is also missing. Photographs of number twelve and onward do not appear in the display panel photographs and their locations are not identified. Also presented in the display is a painting by W. R. Symons, dated to either 1957 or 1967. The painting depicts a scene similar to that in one of the photographs identified as Head of Chezzetcook. The numbered negatives and their prints are arranged by the negatives’ numbers and by the order in which they appear in the display, which mostly coincides with their geographic locations from West to East. Unidentified prints whose original negatives are missing are placed at the end. Photographs of the display are arranged by the order and numbering of the negative strips. 2010.005
