Post card sent to Mr. and Mrs. James Rorke on June 25, 1940 from their daughter, ''Babs'' [Yvonne]. The following was written on the back of the post card: ''Arrived here about an hour ago. Had supper and we are now going on to Ottawa, where we will look at the Parliament Buildings. We are then going on to Montreal, and from there home I guess. Wish you were here. Love, Babs.'' 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.
