| Summary: | Victor Forward, sitting outside in Northern Ontario with the Severn River in the background. On the back of the photograph the inscription reads, "taking things easy on a holiday up north away [Ontario]. The Severn River in the back ground, Vic." Victor Forward was the son of John ''Jack'' Bemister Forward (1864-1934), and nephew of Ernest Edward Forward. The Rorke Family Photograph Collection contains 301 black and white and 28 colour photographs of the Rorke Family of Carbonear, Newfoundland, as well as the Forward and Bemister families from that area who are linked to it by marriage. Although spanning from the 1840s-1970s, most photos are from 1900-45, showing family events, homes and Newfoundland and Labrador locations. There is also an album of photos taken while James Rorke attended the Leys School in Cambridge, England.
