This fonds consists of more than 535,000 photographic items, including b&w and colour negatives, transparencies and slides, as well as b&w and colour proofs, contacts sheets, and large exhibition prints. These represent virtually the entire production of Robert Ragsdale's photographic studio from 1955 to ca. 1996. Most of the photographs document theatrical and television productions in Canada, especially for the CBC, the Stratford Festival, the Canadian Opera Company, and Livent Productions. Ragsdale also created many photographic portraits of Canadian cultural figures, including A.Y. Jackson, Margaret Laurence, Margaret Atwood, Wayne and Shuster, Jessica Tandy, Martha Henry and Glenn Gould. He also worked as a 'company photographer' for such businesses as Shell Oil and Crown Life Assurance. The fonds also includes the numerous photojournalism assignments he carried out for publications such as Time, the Star Weekly, the Globe and Mail, Maclean's, etc. There is an original studio index to the negatives, organized alphabetically by subject.

Ragsdale, Robert : Robert C. Ragsdale was born into a newspaper family in Belleville, Ontario. His interest in photography began as an adolescent, nurtured by the darkroom set up in the family home. During high school, he was part of the editorial team and occasionally undertook documentation assignments for the local police, photographing sites of fatalities and car accidents.

During the Second World War, Ragsdale served as a stringer for newspapers, including the Toronto Telegram and the Globe and Mail. After high school, he worked for a local portrait studio in Belleville. His first major story featured Barbara Ann Scott, a celebrated figure skater, which solidified his commitment to a career in photography.

In 1949, Ragsdale moved to Toronto and joined the prominent commercial photography studio Gilbert Milne. From 1950 to 1955, he played a significant role in the studio, photographing over 90% of the assignments. He established his own studio in 1955, with some of his first clients being the comedy duo Wayne and Shuster.

Ragsdale's clientele included corporate clients such as the Toronto Daily Star, Shell Oil Company, and the Stratford Festival. He also worked with the newly launched television network of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). His early assignments often featured young Canadians for magazines and newspapers.

The scope of his work includes journalism, portraiture, industrial, architectural, and editorial photography. Among his notable accomplishments were early photographs of pioneering operations like open-heart surgery and childbirth. He also photographed the documentation of theatrical productions, including French-language productions. His contributions to theatrical photography earned him membership in the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS), the Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC), and a Master of Photographic Arts (MPA) in 1967.

Ragsdale's career has been recognized with numerous awards, including the Best Black and White Publicity Photograph Award at the Professional Photographers of Ontario Convention in 1977. His photographs are preserved in the archival collections of CBC, Shaw Festival, United Nations Association in Canada, Canadian Conference of the Arts, and the Media Club of Canada.
