John Beverley MacLaughlin was born in Ottawa, the son of Thomas MacLaughlin, a clerk in the Architect's Branch of the Department of Public Works. He joined the canada Atlantic Railway as a clerk in 1900, and then became a draughtsman for the Transcontinental Railway before setting up as a broker and real estate agent in Ottawa, a business which he conducted from 1914 until his death in 1954. During his life, he compiled a large number of photographs of Ottawa and region, most of which were placed into an album. These photographs were both commercially produced by Topley Studios and amateur photographs, perhaps taken by MacLaughlin himself. There were also single images of the Rideau Falls, Chaudiere Falls on the Rideau, the Thompson Homestead, and the South African Contingent, 1900. In 1929, Mr. MacLaughlin appears to have taken a vacation in the Lower St. Lawrence region in Quebec in 1929, since he compiled a second album of photographs of Baie St. Paul, Malbaie, Riviere du Loup, and other Quebec locations, including architectural studies, fences, spinning-wheels, dog carts, stone windmills, outdoor ovens, furniture, and other aspects of everyday life. It may have been on this trip that MacLaughlin acquired photographic prints and negatives of portraits of Cornelius Krieghoff and John Budden. The fonds also included two drawings, one showing a corner of the East Block in 1925, and the second being a crude carciature done in 1940, which has subsequently disposed of. Mr. MacLaughlin also submitted flag designs to the 1946 National Flag competition, but no designs survive.
