This is an extensive library which, as of this writing, is neither documented nor digitized by the City of Toronto Archives. Each slide is well described by pen notations and date stamps made by Harvey R. Naylor. There are also technical details on several slides which include both the lens and aperture used. Naylor worked for the TTC from the 1950s.
The following describes a file-by-file overview for each of the 117 files contained in four file boxes. This description, which had not been previously prepared by the conservators and archivists at the City Archives, was given to them once the survey on Naylor’s collection, a month’s worth of work, was complete.
