Sub-series contains a collection of textual records including letters, greeting cards, notes, invitations, and telegrams which were part of the retail stock of Bob Gordon's business, The Autograph Gallery. These records, which date from the 19th and the 20th century, pertain mostly to Canadian political figures such as prime ministers, federal cabinet ministers, Members of Parliament, Fathers of Confederation, Lieutenant Governors, Speakers of the House Commons, senators, and Governors General of Canada. Included are items relating to Pierre Elliot Trudeau, Sir John A. Macdonald, Lester B. Pearson, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, John Diefenbaker, and Sir Hector Langevin. Also in this sub-series are records relating to the wives of Canadian Governors General and Canadian writers and celebrities. Also found in this sub-series are two black and white photographs. These include a photograph depicting Government House, Ottawa, in 1947; a photograph taken in the 1930s of Lady Minto standing in front of her house, Kydon End, Surrey, England; and a photograph of William Lyon Mackenzie King, dated 1937.
