City Of Ottawa Archives - Bytown Museum Collection - Streetview Images - January 2016 (336 items)

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.)


City Of Ottawa Archives Image Scan - CA03 - Mid 1950s (8281 items)

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.

Image range scanned: CA03{0000-8293}-W.jpg.

80% of these pictures are of people. 20% are of places and things.
