This collection consists of an aerial photograph, taken ca. 1955, depicting the coliseum, barns, grandstand, and midway in operation during a Provincial Exhibition.

Provincial exhibitions have played a major role in the agricultural and social life of Prince Edward Island. The Charlottetown Driving Park and the Exhibition grounds and buildings have occupied the land next to the Hillsborough River west of the Hillsborough Bridge since the late 1880s. The grandstand was built in 1889, followed by a beautiful main building in 1890. This latter building was destroyed by fire in 1945 and its place was taken by the coliseum in 1952. The coliseum was replaced in preparation for the 1991 Winter Games by a much larger sports complex.

The item is a ca. 2012 8x10 reprint of a black and white photograph of teacher Phyllis Morrison's class, St. Peters North School, ca. 1945-1955. The photograph was taken outdoors, likely next to the school. Individuals are not identified.

The collection consists of two photographs; one of the "Prince Nova", the first Northumberland Ferries vessel, at the ferry terminal wharf, the other of the Board of Directors of Northumberland Ferries Ltd.

Northumberland Ferries Ltd. was incorporated to operate in Prince Edward Island in 1939 having already obtained corporate status in Nova Scotia. It has operated the ferry transportation from Wood Islands to Caribou N.S. from that time until the present day. The "Prince Nova" was the first vessel to ply the Strait for Northumberland Ferries. Built in 1909, the passenger steamer was named "Waubic" until she suffered serious damage in a fire in 1938 and had to be rebuilt. From then until her arrival in P.E.I. in 1941, she was known as the "Erie Isle". From June of 1941 until the end of the 1957 season she was in service on the Wood Islands Caribou crossing and known as the "Prince Nova". She burned and was abandoned in July of 1959.
