glass plate negatives created by George H. Craig. Many of the images are of scenery around Nova Scotia, but there are also images showing pages out of books, or of prints or paintings already in existence. The geographic area represented by the images is for the most part Halifax and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. There are also a number of images that depict the black community of Dartmouth in the 1890's. Craig also experimented occasionally, scratching negatives or painting them with varnish to create various effects. For his painting, Craig created images to be used as resources for his artwork, but also created negatives of his artwork. The glass plate negatives were arranged by Craig in series that reflect these painting projects. Fonds consists of six series: negatives, portraits, Nova Scotia celebration, Views in Nova Scotia, Old Governors, and Subjects for paintings

Fonds consists of photographs taken by Sydney Payne and represent some of his projects at the laboratory, commissions for L. M. Fortier, Superintendent at Fort Anne, and a wide variety of personal photographs of Annapolis Royal and area.

Fonds consists of journals kept by Yates regarding his daily work. They chronicle what type work was being done, for whom and they also record payment and maitenance on the studio.
