Additionally, this subseries contains photographs depicting the interiors and exteriors of buildings on Riverview Hospital grounds, the Woodlands School (TWS), as well as various public works projects, vehicles, and medical supplies used by the hospital staff.

Notes area

Physical condition

Some cellulose acetate negative sheets and cellulose acetate film strips are between Stage 1 and Stage 2 deterioration. They do not exhibit vinegar syndrome but are are exhibiting signs of image silver deterioration. Some negatives exhibit silver mirroring and silver ion migration spots. Significantly, silver ions have formed colloidal silver, causing the support of some negatives to change colour to a yellowish-orange, varying in opacity between negatives. See the Finding Aid for the identification numbers of deteriorating negatives.

Arrangement

The subseries was arranged into six Files by the archivist, corresponding to the larger groupings of subject matter in the photographs. The arrangement is:
