Item is the second of two photographs shown as a pair (see Item 29). Stephen Archibald recalls that this sole demonstrator was part of a continuing battle over free speech, triggered by the newly-formed Campus Police forcibly removing a student handing out Maoist literature in the Student Union Building. He notes that he liked the aesthetic contrast of this individual, "bravely and belligerently protesting alone ... surrounded by an unsympathetic crowd" and the photo of the rather fashionable woman protesting in the Halifax airport.
Item is a photograph showing demonstrators marching across the Macdonald Bridge as part of the National Day of Demonstration on 25 January 1971, a result of the recent Poor People's Conference, which highlighted welfare issues of low-income and other disadvantaged groups.
Item is the first of two photographs shown as a pair (see Item 30). Stephen Archibald doesn't recall why the Dalhousie Photography Department went out to the airport to capture what he calls a "rather spontaneous event" featuring students from another university, but he liked the aesthetic contrast between this and the image of the lone Maoist student protestor.
Item is the sixth of eight photographs taken at an anti-war march assembling in Halifax's Grand Parade for the 16 October 1967 International Day of Vietnam Action. The images chosen by Stephen Archibald to represent this event are largely of people who were present to protest the protesters. This particular image features an unidentified man in a heated discussion with Rocky Jones, a well-known and active Dalhousie radical, under the watchful eye of a police officer. Note the Viva Che button on Rocky Jones' jacket.
Item is a photograph identified by Stephen Archibald as likely taken during the National Day of Demonstration on 25 January 1971, a result of the recent Poor People's Conference, which highlighted welfare issues of low-income and other disadvantaged groups. The bearded man with the glasses seen in profile is Martin Langille, a well-known Dalhousie student activist, and one of a small group of students who occupied the President's office on April 13–14, 1970.
Item is a photograph identified by Stephen Archibald as likely taken during the National Day of Demonstration on 25 January 1971, a result of the recent Poor People's Conference, which highlighted welfare issues of low-income and other disadvantaged groups. He notes that he recalls being told that the man with the raised fist "did a lot of sustained shouting of support." The bearded man with the glasses to his right is Martin Langille, a well-known Dalhousie student activist, and one of a small group of students who occupied the President's office on April 13–14, 1970.
Item is the fifth of 14 photographs taken during a Halifax anti-war demonstration marking the 15 November 1969 Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam. The man in this image holds what appears to be a hastily written sign saying "CRUSH THE COMMIES!!" and Stephen Archibald writes that, "although he doesn't look it, buddy in the car was very angry at the marchers and waved a baton .... My memory is that the dog was not too happy either."
Item is the first of four photographs taken at a protest organized by Dalhousie students to coincide with major marches in New York and across the continent on 15 April 1967, called Spring Mobilization to End the War in Vietnam. The images feature participants assembling in the Grand Parade prior to the march.
Item is the second of four photographs taken at a protest organized by Dalhousie students to coincide with major marches in New York and across the continent on 15 April 1967, called Spring Mobilization to End the War in Vietnam. Chris Turrott is described by Stephen Archibald as "an active campus radical," and was one of the students involved in the April 1970 occupation of the President's office.
Item is the fourteenth of 14 photographs taken during a Halifax anti-war demonstration marking the 15 November 1969 Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam. Stephen Archibald identifies his friends John and Hilary Kitz as brother and sister, and as the owners of the dog, Millie, featured in Item 26. He also notes that because the mounting board behind this photograph is a different colour, it may have been used in another exhibition by the Photo Department.
Item is the thirteenth of 14 photographs taken during a Halifax anti-war demonstration marking the 15 November 1969 Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam. Hilary Kitz is standing next to a man identified possibly as Frank Fillmore, editor and co-founder of The 4th Estate. The image is not mounted and probably wasn't included in the exhibition.
Item is the second of 14 photographs taken during a Halifax anti-war demonstration marking the 15 November 1969 Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam. Larry Katz was also one of a small group of students who occupied the President's office on April 13–14, 1970.
Item is the third of four photographs taken at a protest organized by Dalhousie students to coincide with major marches in New York and across the continent on 15 April 1967, called Spring Mobilization to End the War in Vietnam. The "Some Good" billboard in the background of this image was on the west side of Argyle Street on wall of the former Moir's Chocolate Factory, which later became the site of the World Trade and Convention Centre.
Item is one of two photographs illustrating what Stephen Archibald called a "proto-demonstration" in the winter of 1967. Michel Guite, a Dalhousie student and the owner of the sports car in the photograph, had for some time been ignoring the campus security guard's requests to purchase a parking pass, which was a relatively new requirement on campus. The security guard eventually called a tow truck to have the car removed. When a group of young men in the Student Union Building noticed the tow truck driver breaking into the car, they shifted some furniture outside and resumed their card game while blocking the truck.
Item is the twelfth of 14 photographs taken during a Halifax anti-war demonstration marking the 15 November 1969 Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam. Stephen Archibald identifies the dog as Millie, and the child in the background being filmed by a television camera as possibly a son of Dalhousie professors Herb and Ruth Gamberg.
Item is the tenth of 14 photographs taken during a Halifax anti-war demonstration marking the 15 November 1969 Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam. The man in the foreground wearing an NLF armband is Dalhousie graduate Peter McGuigan, who later became a well-known local historian. This image did not appear in the exhibit.
Item is the seventh of 14 photographs taken during a Halifax anti-war demonstration marking the 15 November 1969 Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam, and one of two images displayed as a pair (see also Item 20).
Item is the sixth of 14 photographs taken during a Halifax anti-war demonstration marking the 15 November 1969 Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam, and one of two images displayed as a pair (see also Item 21).
Item is the eighth of eight photographs taken at a Halifax anti-war march marking the 16 October 1967 International Day of Vietnam Action. The images chosen by Stephen Archibald to represent this event are largely of people who were present to protest the protesters. This print was developed with two images, taken seconds apart, aligned one on top of the other.
Item is the fourth of eight photographs taken at an anti-war march assembling in Halifax's Grand Parade for the 16 October 1967 International Day of Vietnam Action. The images chosen by Stephen Archibald to represent this event are largely of people who were present to protest the protesters. This particular image features bystanders with some active pro-war demonstrators and one more ambivalent attendee, holding a sign reading "Get out of Vietnam after killing Ho Chi Minh."
Item is the second of two photographs illustrating what Stephen Archibald called a "proto-demonstration" in the winter of 1967. Michel Guite, a Dalhousie student and the owner of the sports car hooked up to the tow truck in the photograph, had for some time been ignoring the campus security guard's requests to purchase a parking pass, which was a relatively new requirement on campus. The security guard eventually called a tow truck to have the car removed. When a group of young men in the Student Union Building noticed the tow truck driver breaking into the car, they shifted some furniture outside and resumed their card game while blocking the truck, which is the image caught in this photograph. Stephen Archibald's notes add: "In the confusion I believe someone let the air out of the tow truck tires. Meanwhile, Michel head what was happening and went over to the campus office and bought a parking pass which he then put on his car. How can you tow a car for not having a pass when it clearly has a pass?"
Item is the third of eight photographs taken at an anti-war march assembling in Halifax's Grand Parade for the 16 October 1967 International Day of Vietnam Action. The images chosen by Stephen Archibald to represent this event are largely of people who were present to protest the protesters. This particular image features two senior police officers conversing near the Barrington Street entrance to the Grand Parade, where people who were protesting the demonstration were beginning to assemble. In his notes Archibald recalls the police presence at these demonstrations as both helpful and respectful.
Item is the eighth of 14 photographs taken during a Halifax anti-war demonstration marking the 15 November 1969 Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam. Stephen Archibald tagged the photograph, "Not much for the police to do."
Item is the seventh of eight photographs taken at an anti-war march assembling in Halifax's Grand Parade for the 16 October 1967 International Day of Vietnam Action. The images chosen by Stephen Archibald to represent this event are largely of people who were present to protest the protesters. In his notes regarding this image, Stephen Archibald writes that "I suspect that most were just downtown characters drawn to a bit of action. But I love the photo."
Item is the first of eight photographs taken at a march assembling in Halifax's Grand Parade for the 16 October 1967 International Day of Vietnam Action. The images chosen by Stephen Archibald to represent this event are largely of people who were present to protest the protesters. This particular image features one of several veterans who came out to stand with the War Memorial perhaps to protest its use as a starting point for an anti-war demonstration. The photograph, which is not mounted, was likely not used in the exhibit.

Item is the fifth of eight photographs taken at an anti-war march assembling in Halifax's Grand Parade for the 16 October 1967 International Day of Vietnam Action. The images chosen by Stephen Archibald to represent this event are largely of people who were present to protest the protesters. However, this particular image features Will Offley (in the hat), who was a well-known and controversial student radical, and one of a small group of students who occupied the President's office on April 13–14, 1970. The photograph, which is unmounted, was probably not used in the exhibit.
Item is the ninth of 14 photographs taken during a Halifax anti-war demonstration marking the 15 November 1969 Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam. The sign held by Will Offley, who was a well-known student radical (one of a small group of students who occupied the President's office on April 13–14, 1970), appears to have been produced or at least endorsed by the Dalhousie New Democratic Youth, and Stephen Archibald points out this transition from the very personal signs of earlier protests. He also notes the star armband worn by the figure in the foreground, probably a symbol of the NLF.
Item is the fourth of four photographs taken at a protest organized by Dalhousie students to coincide with major marches in New York and across the continent on 15 April 1967, called Spring Mobilization to End the War in Vietnam. The print was developed with two images aligned one on top of the other, each featuring a child holding a protest sign. The man in the left of the lower image is Dalhousie classics professor Wayne Hanky, then a King's don.
