Image 1 (Photo 2282.0011): A black-and-white 1961 streetscape of downtown Rossland on a wet paved road. On the right foreground stands a multi-storey brick Bank of Montreal building with stone archways and an overhead clock sign. Further down the street, commercial storefronts include a building with a large "Pepsi-Cola / Super-Valu" sign, set against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains.

Image 2 (Photo 2315.0023): An early sepia-toned archival photo showing a wide dirt street along Columbia Avenue in Rossland. In the foreground on the left, two women in long early 1900s dresses and hats stand on the wooden sidewalk beneath striped fabric awnings attached to commercial brick and wood-frame buildings. Wooden utility poles line the street stretching into the background.

Spot the odd man out for #MiningMonday! ⛏️👔
Miners pose underground with their drill, but the fellow on the right is in a suit and bow tie. Mine manager, investor, or VIP guest? We'll never know for sure!

A black-and-white historical photograph of three men underground in a mine tunnel next to a heavy rock drill. Two miners on the left and centre wear worn, dark work clothes, brimmed caps, and dirt-smudged faces. On the right, a man sits, posing with one arm in his pocket, wearing a dark suit jacket, a buttoned vest, a collared shirt, and a bow tie. A large vertical drill post and air hose stand between the men.

Swedish botanist, Peter Kalm, visited Ellis in 1748 to consult with him about his farming equipment and practices. He was disappointed to find that Ellis was neither a modern farmer, nor a particularly good one. The two men didn't like each other at all.

Black-and-white eighteenth-century engraving showing an early seed drill in use. An ox pulls a four-wheeled agricultural machine with a seed and manure hopper across a field, guided by one person leading the ox and another walking behind the drill. A handwritten-style caption beneath the illustration describes the invention and use of the machine in Hertfordshire in 1745.
