Subseries contains a collection of photographs used in the "An apple a day" exhibit held at the MacRae Library in 1998, highlighting the photographic glass slides found on campus that were believed to be taken by Fred Sears. Dr. Alex Georgallas was the acting archivist and curated the exhibit of prints of the Fred Sears glass slides. Most of the photographs center around apples and orchard practices and buildings of the Nova Scotia Agricultural College. Notes on some of the sleeves of the negatives suggest that they date from the period 1906/7. It seems likely that they are connected with courses taught by Fred C. Sears at the NSAC during this period.
File contains 2 photographs of library assistant Janelle Brenton cataloging and applying new barcodes to the books of the Nova Scotia Agricultural College's MacRae Library’s collection for the new automated catalog.
File contains photographs of the interior and exterior of the Nova Scotia Agricultural College library that was built in 1982, and 1983 library staff and librarians. There are also portraits of past librarians and students. From 1913-1939 the NSAC library collection was housed on bookshelves of a small room adjacent to the office of the Professor of English. From 1939-1968 Principal Lyman Chapman improved the library arrangements by rearranging space previously occupied by the janitor’s quarters on the top floor of the administrative building, later named Cumming Hall; they provided tables, newspapers, magazines, books, reference books and textbooks. Between 1968-1982 the library was housed in the Cox Institute, the library was given space to the west of the stairwell on the lower level. The library added a microfiche reader during this time. In the 1980s a new building for library services became the first priority when the degree program was approved. Official opening of the new library was graduation day May 1983, and the library was named the MacRae library in 1990.
