Photographs of Sudbury scenes

File contains 116 photographs taken by Bill Freedman in the region around Sudbury, Ontario, between 1975 and 1986, as part of his thesis fieldwork. Photographs show slag heaps, roast beds, pollution, plant damage, and mining infrastructure from the Copper Cliff, Coniston, and Falconbridge sites near Sudbury, and flora at the nearby Wanapitei River, Richard Lake, and Burwash sites.

Photographs of tailings sites around Sudbury

File contains 36 photographs taken by Bill Freedman in the area around Sudbury, Ontario, between 1975 and 1986 (many of which were used as part of his thesis fieldwork). Photographs show tailings ponds, nickel runs, roast beds, and slag pouring at the Coppercliff, Burwash, Coniston, Richard Lake, and Falconbridge sites.

Photographs of Voisey's Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador

File contains 58 photographs taken by Bill Freedman at Voisey's Bay, Labrador, in 1996. Photographs show river rapids, aerial surveys of the region, Fraser River Canyon, and some ground vegetation, near the site of the nickel mining operation. Late in 1996, Inco acquired rights to mine nickel from the area, and Freedman's visit involved conducting an environmental assessment (which he had done previously for nickel mining sites in Sudbury, Ontario).
