One photograph album of 91 photos from Newfoundland and Labrador, ca. 1890. The images show men and women hunting, fishing, exploring nature and visiting with Inuit communities. The photographs were taken in St. John's (showing Signal Hill, the harbour, and the city skyline), along the Humber River (at Big Falls, Steady Brook, and Bay of Islands), and in Labrador (at Nain, Cape Harrison and Hawke Harbour).

The fonds consists of photographic negatives and prints created by Pirak Studios Limited, primarily featuring graduation portraits and class composites of University of Waterloo students. The fonds also includes graduation portraits and class composites of students from several other educational institutions, which are identified in the series and file level descriptions as well as logbooks maintained by Pirak Studios Limited documenting photographic services provided to clients.
