Lawrence Stuckey photograph collection - Brandon history - S. J. McKee Archives

Creator: Many of the images presented were captured by Mr. Stuckey himself. However being a well known and accomplished photographer and amateur historian, he also bought, sold and traded negatives with other collectors. Therefore the viewer is reminded that many images, although part of his collection, were created and/or provided for Mr. Stuckey by other collectors. In addition, it is believed that some images contained within his collection were created by photographing a pre-existing negative or print. We have attempted to note the authorship of all images when possible.

History / Biographical: For history/bio information 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: This sub-series consists of photographic negatives related to the history of Brandon, Manitoba. All of the images contained within this sub-series were part of Mr. Stuckey’s lifelong personal collection of photographic negatives and prints. Images include those related to people, street scapes, buildings, various city departments and so forth.

Notes: All of the images from Mr. Stuckey’s collection of negatives and prints were reproduced and digitized using an Epson scanner and software suite. All attempts have been made to reproduce the images in such a manner that balances our desire to portray the negatives and photographs as they originally appear, with the need to create an optimal digital image for viewing. Therefore it is noted that minor alterations to image size and contrast have occurred. With few exceptions, all digitizing and database entry of images and descriptions was conducted during the summer of 2009 at Brandon University by Patrick Elves.

Repro Restriction: The McKee Archives is the copyright holder for the Stuckey materials.

Arrangement: Unless otherwise noted, the arrangement of these images was drawn from the original classification scheme used by Mr. Stuckey. The information specific to each image, for the most part, was gained from Mr. Stuckey’s personal notes regarding that particular photograph or similar photograph. Observations or notes contained within square brackets are explanatory or missing materials that have been added by someone other than Mr. Stuckey. We have attempted to present the information that accompanies each image in the same format as was used by Mr. Stuckey himself. Subseries 1 - Brandon History A. People B. Bridges C. Streets D.
