Description:
This box mostly contains transparencies and negatives of maps from various archives which the van Ginkels used for their own work and transparencies of the van Ginkels own work. They used the transparencies to present their projects and proposals. The transparencies of their work are numbered and titled, ex. Old City 193. The van Ginkels would produce their own maps prior to starting a project. Also included are about 60 slides of facades of buildings in Old Montreal. These were photos the van Ginkels took and were likely taken in the late 1950s. They likely used these as reference material.
