Stuckey left a variety of materials in his collection in an unsorted state. Rather than allocate those materials to one of the existing sub-series, the McKee Archives chose to artificially create this sub-series, which has been designated "unsorted materials."
For history/bio information for Lawrence Stuckey see the collection level description of the Lawrence Stuckey collection.
Custodial History
For custodial history see the collection level description of the Lawrence Stuckey collection.
Scope and Content
Sub-series consists of photographic prints, photograph albums, postcards and negatives covering a variety of subjects including Brandon, ships, boats, threshermens' reunions, and rural Manitoba. Some of the prints correspond with negatives held in other sub-series in the Stuckey collection. If possible, the connection between the print and negative has been made at the item level. Some of the items are original and quite rare.
The dates given for many of the prints in this sub-series refer to the date the photograph was taken and not the date the print was made from the original negative.
Notes
Unidentifiable photographs not taken by Lawrence Stuckey and redundant prints were culled.

Central Refiners, which opened in 1936, was located at the southeast corner of 18th Street and Richmond Avenue. Initially owned and operated locally, the refinery was born from one of the old skimming plants that predated refining in Western Canada. That early plant skimmed the gasoline products from Turner Valley crude oil, using the collection material basically as tractor fuels to supply the farmers of the area.
The operation took a big step forward when it was allied with Anglo Canadian, a Calgary-based oil drilling exploration company, and turned into a proper refinery to refine the crude oil. That crude oil was hauled to Brandon by tank cars from the Anglo Canadian Turner Valley wells until about 1950 when the first trans-Canada popline was completed and a loop extended to the Brandon refinery.
In the early 1940s, shortly after it had been completed as a catalytic refinery, the plant went in to war production, producing the aviation gasolines used by the Commonwealth Air Trining Program in western Manitoba.
As Central REfiners and as Anglo Canadian Oils, the company was essentially a local one with businessmen and farmers of Brandon and western Manitoba owning big portions of the shares. In 1951, the British American Oil company purchased sharsin Anglo Canadian Oils and in 1964 BA became the principal owner.
Due to techonological and economic factors British American Oil Company decided to close the Brandon refinery, effective April 1, 1969.
Scope and Content

View of the southeast corner of Tenth Street and Princess Avenue, showing the Prince Edward Hotel (left) and an Imperial Oil Building (right).
Notes
The second floor of the Imperial Oil building became the Imperial Dance Garden in 1934. The small wooden post in a concrete foundation in the centre of the intersection was called a "Silent Policeman". You were supposed to keep it on your left while making a left turn. They took quite a beating.
