Biographical history
George Innes was born in England but came to Canada at an early age and has lived in the Kingston area for most of his life. For many years he worked as a photographer at Queen's University where he processed much of the photographic work for the Archives. He has also been a collector of militariana and other historical material. Because his work at Queen's brought him into close contact with the Archives he has gained a good understanding of the kind of material archives staff are looking for and he has donated some of the material from his own collection, which he knew would be useful, to Queen's Archives.
Custodial history
These records were a part of George Innes personal collection of local historical records until he donated them to Queen's University Archives.
Scope and content
The fonds consists of British War Office's forms for Commitment to Military Prison, photographs taken by an unknown photographer of sights and scenes in Kingston and area and newspaper clippings relating to various events in Kingston and district that have some historical significance. There are also files and photographs relating to the Loyal Orange Order in Kingston, a Kingston Christmas parade, the Foucault Pendulum at Queen's, a catalogue of St. Andrew's Church members in 1981 and three portraits of an unidentified woman, taken by C.H. Boyes of Kingston.
