These are the first batch of pictures, uploaded by CMHC in Feb, 2015.
Most of these streetview images from the Bytowm Museum Collection at the City of Ottawa Archives are from the Jarvis-Pittaway Studio albums. Others are copies from the LAC. Because these galleries were created by downloading an entire directory's worth of images by filename from the collections website, they don't have any meta data (date, photographer, title, location etc.)
Notes: The Ottawa Museums & Archives Collections website recently released thousands of digitized photographs taken in the Ottawa area between 1954 and 1956 (CA03).
Although the collections website allows you to browse a number of featured items, many other items can only be found by searching for them, so you have to know what you're looking for in advance. These galleries provide a convenient way of browsing through the CA03 photos.
Because these galleries were created by scanning a range of image names on the collections website, they don't have any meta data (date, photographer, title, location etc.) You can search for information about a specific image using its CA number which is displayed next to the image.

At various times, the Department had, in addition to its central administrative core, more than 30 distinct branches and sub-agencies under its umbrella, many of which eventually evolved into separate agencies or departments in their own right, such as: the North-West Mounted Police, the Geological Survey of Canada, surveys and mapping, the Chief Geographer, Indian affairs, forestry, mines, water, immigration, national parks, wildlife, national museums, tourism, and recreation.
Fonds consists of records created and/or maintained by the Department of the Interior and its predecessors.
Fonds consists of photographs illustrating: the daily life of the Ballantyne family and their relatives and friends such as the Barry, Brown, Harmer, Harvey, Lees, Robson and Taylor families as well as J.G. and R.B. Whyte; street scenes, landscapes and events in and around Ottawa, Ont., 1889-1916; exterior and interior views of homes and others buildings; street scenes and landscapes in and around Ottawa including Ottawa East, Rockcliffe, Hog's Back, Billings Bridge, and Chelsea; events occurring in and around Ottawa such as an election in Ottawa East in January 1902, and the construction of the Victoria Memorial Museum, Ottawa, between 1905 and 1912.
Photos taken between 1889 and 1916 by James and Mae (daughter) Ballantyne.
More information about the great James Ballantyne (1835 - 1925) can be found here.
The Topley Studio fonds includes primarily though far from exclusively, portrait studio photography taken in Ottawa in the period 1868-1924. Portraits of Governors-Generals, Prime Ministers, members of Parliament, Sentators, civil servants and residents of Ottawa are included in the fonds. There are also numerous photographs of the city of Ottawa and the surrounding area; views were, however taken at various points across the country primarily from the 1890's onwards. Included in the fonds is work by other other photographers, notably Charles Horetzky and the Studio of Thomas and Philander Stiff operators of Stiff Brothers. In addition, one large photograph showing the E.B. Eddy lumber operations, old Hull, Aug. 1902.
