Custodial history

Scope and content

Subseries consists of an assortment of photographs taken by Hanne or sent to her by family and friends. These images depict people and locations (many of which are unidentified), events and gatherings such as birthday parties, framed artwork by other creators, silverware, religious art, and several pictures in which George is wearing his pulpit gown and may be presiding over a child's baptism. Some of the photographs have messages or notes written on verso in English and German. There are many photos of children, including Michael and Stephen Fairweather (whose parents regarded Hanne and George as grandparent figures). Other photographs of note include one of Hedwig Herrmann's grave marker (PH-4133) and what may be the last image of Hanne (PH-4083 and 4084), taken with Jane Vaughan and two other women.

Notes area

Physical condition

While most of the file in this file are in good condition, some exhibit signs of vinegar syndrome. Three of the envelopes (PH-4298, 4315, and 4316) containing negatives, prints, and metadata were so severely impacted by vinegar syndrome that the envelopes and negatives had to be destroyed, however, the prints and metadata were preserved. Five envelopes were so badly affected they and their contents had to be destroyed; they were not assigned PH numbers.

Immediate source of acquisition

Some of the items in this file (PH-4085 to 4087 and 4106 to 4133) were donated by the West Vancouver Public Library.
