The Image Collection

The images in this unique collection are compiled from sources such as the Sisters of Service, Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Canadian national Railway, the Halifax Port Authority and the Allan S. Tanner Collection (images that show Canadian service personnel returning to Pier 21 in 1945).

Also included are thousands of scanned newspaper clippings, immigration-related documents, and ship memorabilia. The majority of the original and digital images in our collection have been donated by individuals and families.
