Ziegler family fonds

  • ON00009 F 4413
  • Fonds
  • [188-?]-[ca.1900]

Fonds consists of prints of formal individual and group photographs of members of the Ziegler family and others, perhaps related, produced by a variety of studios in Canada and the United States, mostly in Berlin [Kitchener] and Waterloo, Ontario. Only a few prints bear inscriptions indicating subjects by name, and most of these are clearly members of the Ziegler family: Gordon and Harvey Ziegler, sons of Henry A. Ziegler and his wife Anna; and their cousins Lizzie Ann, Delphina, and Edna Schaefer, daughters of Louisa Ziegler and William H. Schaefer. There is one photograph of Lydia (Ziegler?) Huehnergard, possibly their aunt.

Represented in this fonds are photographic prints from studios in Ontario in Berlin (Green and Company; C. Schneuker; Seiler), Waterloo (A.C. Moyer; Heimbecker; I.W. Wilson; Edwards), Elmira (Levi Vost), and Toronto (W. Mathers; J.J. Milliken). Other studios were located in Boissevain, Manitoba (J.E. Miers), West Superior, Wisconsin (Berryman) and Le Mars, Iowa (Dabb; Brown).

A number of the photographs are in the form of cartes de visites produced by local photographers in Berlin (D.G. Denison; Lundy and Wilder), Waterloo (Lundy and Company; Heimbecker; D. Henzel; P. Reichert; I.W. Wilson), and Elmira (W. Marshall; S. Fischer).

Fonds includes printed funeral card for Elizabeth Ziegler, Henry's mother, who died in October 1896.

Zdzislaw Przygoda fonds

  • ON00009 F 4414
  • Fonds
  • 1954-1995

Fonds consists of records generated or accumulated by Zdzislaw Przygoda during his practice as a structural engineer, in the firm of Przygoda and Associates Ltd. Consulting Engineers between 1954 and 1995.

The records consist mainly of architectural drawings, and include sketches, technical drawings and conceptual designs for structural elements, equipment, and building additions.

Textual records in a limited number of project files include building specifications, correspondence with architects, contractors and clients, site investigations, calculations, preliminary proposals, equipment reports, meeting minutes, labour agreements and instructions.

Volumes often consist of soil test boring reports of sites, as well as feasilbility studies, reports and specifications.

Photographs are found in four of the series, and depict construction of St. Wilfred's Church, The Liberty Street Buildings, Maple Leaf Mills Ltd. Saskatoon, and John XXII School. Photographs also include negatives of plans for the Maple Leaf Ltd. project in Saskatoon.

The records have been arranged into 60 series based on the building location of individual projects. The series pertains to certain aspects of the project related to Przygoda rather than a complete record of the building development. Several series include numeric project codes in which the first two digits represent the year the project was started followed by digits assigned sequentially. As this numbering system was not maintained, series were assigned arbitrarily although the numbering system was noted where applicable.
