Newspapers belonging to various individuals have been donated to the Arnprior & McNab/Braeside Archives (AMBA) since it opened in 1993. The Arnprior District Museum transferred various newspaper editions since 1999. The Arnprior Chronicle-Guide donated its collection to the AMBA in 1995.
Scope and Content

History / Biography
The Arnprior and District Museum was opened in 1967 as the Town of Arnprior’s official Centennial project. The Museum occupies a unique red stone landmark, built in 1896 as the Post Office. In 1962, Mr. and Mrs. David A. Gillies purchased and donated the building to the town; the building was renamed the David A. Gillies Building; in 1977, the municipality designated the building as a heritage site (under the 1974 Ontario Heritage Act). The Museum’s mandate was to collect artifacts, maps, books, and documents that record the history of Arnprior and the area, from the fur-trading days when Indigenous people had encampments during the Champlain era through until 1825 when the Scottish Laird of McNab (Archibald McNab) brought 80 settlers to the area from Scotland to the lumbering era dominated by the McLachlin and Gillies families (about 1860’s to 1940’s).

(The McLachlin sawmill was located across the river at the other end of a small dam). In 1889, David Craig used the mill to manufacture flour. In 1895, the McLachlins used it as a boarding house and a training headquarters for boy scouts and cubs; Dr. Newell Beattie was the next
owner; its last owner, William Baird, used the building as a restaurant and coin wash. On July 30, 1975, Ontario Hydro bought the mill; on September 24, 1975, the mill burned down.

Series: Huyck--Kenwood Mills. -- 1923-1924; 1968; 1997. --6.5 cm of textual records and 24 photographs.
The Kenwood Mills of Arnprior (famous for Kenwood blankets) began in 1918 when the US company F.C. Huyck & Sons took over a factory building of Griffith & McNaughton on William Street in Arnprior. Griffith & McNaughton, founded in 1915 had originally made shirts and then, during World War I, switched to socks and blankets. Huyck named the Arnprior factory “Kenwood Mills” after a village near Albany, New York where the American owners had operated their mill for years. In 1962, the Kenwood operation was amalgamated with another Canadian Huyck subsidiary to become Huyck Canada Ltd. In the 1960s/70s, Kenwood in Arnprior switched to the production of paper machine clothing ( large continuous felts used by paper manufacturers). For a time, Kenwood was the largest employer in town, with 300 employees. In 1980, a huge British conglomerate, BTR Paper Groups, bought the entire Huyck Corporation with all its divisions, including Arnprior. Weavexx was a wholly-owned subsidiary of BTR created in 1992 through a merger of Huyck Canada and Niagara Lockport Industries Canada Ltd. The Arnprior plant was later taken over by Weavexx, which closed its Arnprior operations in 1996.
Series consists of clippings and public relations material about the plant, 10 b&w photos of the American plant in Massachusetts, 14 photos of the water tower, and extensive records on the making of felt.

In 1872 or 1873, John Gillies (1811-1888) bought the Braeside sawmill (which came to be known as the Gillies Bros., Ltd.) from the Reverend Henry Usborne (an absentee English proprietor who built the mill in 1869 on the completion of the Canada Central Railway to Sand Point, 2 miles west of Braeside). With the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1885, the Gillies Bros., Ltd. focused its efforts on developing Canadian markets for sawn lumber as well as export markets to the United States, the United Kingdom, and the West Indies. On July 4, 1910, a fire destroyed the west lumber yard containing 29 million board feet of lumber at Braeside; the sawmill was not damaged. But, in 1919, there was another fire and the sawmill was destroyed. However, by 1920-1921, a new electrically driven brick and concrete mill was erected. At that time, it was the first fireproof mill of its kind in Canada. In 1953, the company had upwards of 1,800 square miles of timber limits on the Coulonge, Black, and Schyan (or Schwyan?) Rivers in Quebec and the Petawawa, Madawaska, Matabitchouan and Sturgeon Rivers in Ontario, all under lease from the Ontario and Quebec governments. In November 1963, the Gillies sold its Braeside mill to Consolidated Bathurst. Over the years, the following were the presidents: James Gillies (1842-1909), John Gillies (1909-1914), David Gillies (1914-1926), John S. Gillies (1926-1938), David A. Gillies (1938-1959) and Chairman of the Board (1959-1961), John A. Gillies Jr. who was a Major O. C. 51st Battalion 1st Anti tank Regiment R.C.A in 1939 (1961-1962), Arnold G. Muirhead (1962-1968), W.W. Bud Gillespie and then R.A. Nugent. The mill site is now owned by Tembec.

Sub-group: Lumbering
In this sub-group, the Museum collected such records as newspaper clippings and photos on lumbering in the Ottawa Valley.
Series: Lumbering. -- 1957; 1966-1967. -- 1.5 cm of textual records, 6 b&w photos, and 2 negatives.
In the 1800’s, demand for Canadian timber rose sharply, and lumber merchants (such as Philemon Wright, John R. Booth, Daniel McLachlin, James Gillies, E.B. Eddy, Stewart Brothers) were quick to lease timber limits up the Ottawa Valley (some notable river names include Petawawa, Madawaska, Bonnechere, Mississippi, Gatineau and Ottawa rivers). Timber “cruisers” would select timber stands for the cut (which would take place in winter) and also select sites for the “shanties” or camps in which the cutting crews would live. These crews would then take up residence in October and, throughout the winter, fell the trees for hewers to square. The teamsters would then haul the timber to the riverbank to await the spring break-up. In the spring, the “drivers” “ran” the logs down to rafting sites (such as Arnprior) on the Ottawa. The timber was then assembled into “rafts”. These timber rafts were eventually sent to Quebec City, where they were taken apart; the timber was then loaded onto ships and sent overseas. Although lumbering continued into the 20th century, external factors (such as the use of steel and iron) meant lumbering would not witness as colorful an era as in the 1800’s.
Sub-group consists of records on such themes as the following: articles about the log drivers, the first chute at Madawaska, J.R. Booth, squared timber, the tug boat call the Opeongo, Bob Charbonneau’s lumber camp in Gatineau, Tony Deschenes, McLachlin’s No. 4 mill, lumbering operations in bygone days in Arnprior and area, and the historical plaque in Bell Park commemorating timber rafting on the Ottawa River. Photos include Gillies Mills’ administrative office (to be confirmed) taken in 1957, participants at the ceremony for the unveiling of the plaque in 1967, one of the McLachlin mill sites, inside a mill, and a square timber log jam. Negatives are of different types of tools used in lumbering.

The Arnprior Cemetery is the burying ground of all Protestant denominations and fraternal societies, located at the mouth of the Madawaska River. It is also known as the Inch Bhui cemetery and the Yellow Isle after the ancient burying place of the Clan McNab in Perthshire, Scotland. The Arnprior plot was set aside as a burying ground by Chief McNab in the early days of the settlement and it first appears in legal documents as a reservation in a deed dated March 22, 1847 from Archibald McNab to Charles S. Middleton which covered all of McNab’s property in the vicinity of Arnprior. In 1862, a meeting was held at Edey’s Hotel in Arnprior to fence and further improve the grave yard. Eric Harrington was Secretary-Treasurer. From 1878-1889, the grave yard became a favorite pasture for the village cows; in 1889, a new committee was formed with T.W. Kenny as Chairman. Under Kenny’s leadership, the cemetery once again became a beautiful spot. In 1903, M.D. Graham was Secretary-Treasurer. The care of the cemetery was eventually taken over by a Board of Trustees organized under an Ontario Statute.

History / Biography
Samuel Augustus Lewis Handford was born in Exeter Ontario on August 29, 1872. His father, Silas Handford immigrated from Devon England when he was very young, first to the United States and then to Western Ontario. Silas Handford gave up farming in the early 1900's when he started hauling vegetables to canning factories in the area. Samuel Augustus ("Gus") Lewis Handford started his career as an apprentice photographer to Mr. Joe Senior of Exeter, Ontario. At the age of 16, he moved to London and worked for another photographer for two years. He then moved to Ottawa and worked for a photographer who may have been George A. Snider. Snider operated a studio on Bank Street but also had a branch in Renfrew in 1895. According to his grandson Edward, he also worked for Robert Sim who operated a studio in Renfrew from 1870 - 1914. While in Ottawa, he met Grace E. Young, daughter of James A. Young of Sand Point. Grace was attending the Conservatory of Music. When she graduated in 1894, she returned to her home in Sand Point. Gus followed her there, set up his own photographic business and married Grace on August 17, 1896. They had two sons, Edward and Herbert and one daughter Lillian who taught physical education in Renfrew. Edward Young Handford and Herb L. Handford both became doctors who practiced in Renfrew in the Handford building into the 1980's. A. L. Handford started operating his photographic business in the McAndrew building in downtown Renfrew. Various sources list 1895 as the date he was established, but a business card held by the Handford family reads "established 1893". By 1903, construction of a substantial brick building at the corner of Raglan and Plaunt street commenced. According to his grandson Edward Handford Jr., the building was started by someone else, but Gus took it over. The Handford block contained large show rooms with 12 foot ceilings and a studio on one side of the ground floor. Handford sold frames, records, paintings and some appliances in the early years. According to Edward Handford Jr., he also sold Grey Dort automobiles at one time with the lot located at the back of the building off Renfrew street. J. M. Ferguson rented the other side of the store front for a "Ladies Emporium" from 1905 - 1907. Lindsay's Ottawa Music Company occupied the additional storefront from 1909 - 1915. The second floor of the building provided living quarters for the Handford family from 1903 - 1915. At this time, a peaked glass roof was constructed to provide light for the photographic studio below. The Handford family relocated to a large home at Raglan Street south, almost directly behind the Agricultural Society's Fair Grounds. A.L. Handford operated an Arnprior branch for a short time between 1920 - 1923 with his brother Wilber Wilton Handford (1880 - 1942). The business was known as the 'Handford Bros. Studio' at that time. A.L. Handford served on Renfrew town council and was a long-time member of the Marion Lodge of the International Order of Odd Fellows. He liked to camp at Sand Bay on the Ottawa river with his family and enjoyed recreational sports. While out and about in Renfrew, Handford used a Graphlex camera with roll film for easy handling once this type of camera was available. He documented many of the places in town and sold post cards that were popular with townspeople and visitors alike. The following excerpt from "The Story of Renfrew" describes his abilities as a portrait photographer, especially of young children, "Gus Handford was excellent when it came to photographing children. He could always make them smile. This was in the day of slow focussing - no fast film then - but he was able to capture their attention with a rattle of by jingling his keys. He had the knack of being able to click the shutter just when the right look appeared in the subject's eyes, and he always had a shot where the person looked intelligent." Throughout the years, various Renfrew Collegiate teams and graduation classes had their portraits taken at the Handford Studio. Hockey, Lacross and Baseball teams were all painstakenly documented by A. L. Handford, who would often draw in the date on a team ball or hockey cup. He often took individual team member photos and devised a collage for a "group" shot that was very popular with the teams. A typical example of this kind of collage team photo was published in Renfrew's Centennial Official Program of 1958. It shows the Renfrew Millionnaires Hockey Team of 1909 - 1910. This team put Renfrew on the map and brought reporters from far and wide to Renfrew to cover the moves of Bert Lindsay, Fred "Cyclone" Taylor and others. Various employees worked for Handford throughout the years. The longest serving member of staff, Miss Thursa Stringer worked for Handford's from the 1930's to 1973. Others were Mr. Cook, Mr. Paul, Lilley Splane and Eva Splane. Mrs. Handford took over the business when Gus went hunting each fall. His daughter Lillian also helped out in the studio after her father died in 1949. Edward Handford Jr. (grandson of A. L. Handford) operated the business in Renfrew from 1955 to 1975. Ed was a Kodak dealer, continuing the tradition that his grandfather started fifty years before him. He was very busy photographing and processing weddings and insurance claims throughout the 1960's and early 1970's. At times, he was booked for six weddings on the same day! The business was closed in the mid 1970's when Ed Handford moved to Ottawa.
Acquisition Source
The collection was deposited in the Arnprior McNab/Braeside Archives May 8, 2008. Prior to the move, the negatives were stored in Griffith Ontario at the home of Edward Handford, father of the donor. The negatives were moved from the Handford Studio in Renfrew to Ottawa at one time, and then taken to Griffith in 1993. In 2012, Karen (Handford) Yolkowski and Ed Handford donated approx 100 negatives and 50 prints which were originally part of the Handford Studio Collection. These are described in Series 9.
Scope and Content
The Handford Studio Collection consists of a number of series of photographic records:
Series 1 - Glass Plate Negatives, Sub-Series 1.1 - 3 x 4 inch negs, Sub-Series 1.2 - 5 x 7 inch negs
Series 2 - Cellulose Negatives
Series 3 - Nitrate Negatives
Series 4 - Handford Studio Portraits, Sub-Series 4.1 - Card Index
Series 5 - Handford Negs
Series 9 - Negatives and Images (accrual)
Arrangement
A. L. Handford kept his negatives in original boxes in the early period and in envelopes in the later period. This original order has been retained and forms a loosely based chronological arrangement of the fonds. Arrangement by the archivist into series was based upon the physical format of the negatives contained in the collection. This arrangement was based on the needs of the archives in terms of processing and handling this large collection during the initial, descriptive phase as well as in future. For instance, the glass plates have been divided into two sub-series based on size. This was done for two reasons. The first was that the smaller plates could be stored in a single wooden cabinet, so retreival is fairly straightforward. Also, the box numbers for glass plates were duplicated within the two sizes. It is much easier to determine which box 60 you wish to retreive knowing which size plate you are searching for. In addition to ease of access, the arrangement into series based on format also allows photographic historians to focus their attention on a particular type of record. The nitrate negatives were handled off-site by a volunteer so that this work could proceed in tandem with other descriptive work carried on by other volunteers. The nitrate negatives have since been destroyed.
Notes
Photographs in this collection contain language from the era in which it was written. This includes problematic wording, cultural references, and stereotypes that are no longer used or appropriate today. Titles and content descriptions provided for the photographs in this collection derive from the indexes created by Handford Studio.

Peter Hessel (1931-2020) was an author, journalist and translator by profession. He was instrumental in establishing the Arnprior & District Archives in 1993.
Language
English
Acquisition Source
While conducting research for his book "McNab - The Township", Peter Hessel created many files which he donated to the ADA in 1994 along with other historical information about the Arnprior area. This formed the basis of the Peter Hessel collection. The collection expanded over time and continued to be added to on a regular basis as an "open" collection based on subject rather than provenance until Hessel's death in 2020. The photograph album was donated to the ADA in 2006.
Scope and Content
Collection Files H1.5 - H5.4
This series consists of many original documents and photographs as well as photocopied material and newspaper clippings pertaining to the history of Arnprior, McNab and Braeside. Files are organized by subject. Each file contains various items which are listed in the Scope and Content note for that particular file. See individual file level descriptions.
Photograph Album H0.02
The collection also consists of a photograph album (1930 - 1990) containing 294 colour photographs and 74 B&W photographs which was compiled by Peter Hessel. It documents areas of historical interest in McNab Township including Burnstown, White Lake, Waba, Lochwinnoch, Braeside, Canaan, Dewars, Sand Point, Stewartville and Glasgow Station.

History / Biography
The object of this collection is to provide a pictorial record of houses, commercial and public buildings of interest (not necessarily of historical/heritage significance) in our communities.

Collection consists of colour photos of historical and other interesting buildings in Arnprior and McNab/Braeside. The photos are numbered on the back and identified by means of a list included in each pouch. The pouches contain the photos as well as the negatives. Note: The negative numbers do not necessarily correspond to the numbers on the photos and on the list. But the negatives can be easily related to the photos and vice versa. Some of the historical areas covered inlcude the following: Galilee Community, John Street North, Bell Street, Albert Street, Lake Street, Ottawa Street, Victoria Street, Madawaska Street, Harriet Street, Harrington Street, Elgin Street, Seymour Street, Sand Point.
