Collection search - Canadian Wild Flowers collection [graphic material]

Works transferred to the Picture Division from an unknown collection in the Manuscript Division, although probably as part of the Traill Family Collection (MG 29-D81).

Transferred from the Manuscript Division, June 1972, from an unnamed source, but likely from the Traill Family Collection, which was received at the Archives over a period of many years, 1964-1997. Most of the material came from various descendants, among them Phyllis Atwood, Mae Atwood, T.R. McCloy, Catherine Barbara Morrow and Donald D'E Strickland. Copies of material were acquired through the good offices of J. Heddle, J. John Twist, the University of London, and K. Douglas Munro.

Related material includes plant pressings preserved by Catharine Parr Traill, and other family members, which were transferred to the National Museum of Man (now the Canadian Museum of Civilization) in 1974. See also the Patrick Hamilton Ewing Collection in the National Library of Canada for material relating to Catharine Parr Traill and Susanna Moodie.
