This sub-series consists of various photographs, photograph albums, and reports with photographs relating to the Canadian National Land Settlement Association. Photographs and Albums: Many of the photographs come from the accession Canadian National Railways Collection 1967-131. In this accession, there are over 3,000 prints and negatives documenting the colonization of land throughout Canada by immigrant settlers. There are approximately 2,400 original envelopes, 3,189 prints and six boxes of uncounted negatives. The photographs document the individual families, as well as their farms and the progress they have made. In addition to this, there are also many prints which document the various aspects of the lives of the inhabitants in a particular community. The collection also contains 8 boxes of miscellaneous prints, which have not been thoroughly examined as to their exact content. Within these boxes, there are mounted prints (both labeled and not) and folders of miscellaneous prints. The accession 1967-131 has original file cards that serve as a finding aid to the photos. These file cards can be found in volumes 16075-16078.

There are also reports created by land inspectors and other officials on various matters concerning the land and immigration with accompanying photographs.

For the most part they contain photographs of families and their farms, together with written descriptions detailing the particulars of the individual family and farm, as well as its progress. The dates recorded for the reports are the dates upon which the report was created, not the dates of the individual photographs.
