Photo Gallery<\/h3>\n

The Scarboro Missions Archives holds a collection of over 300 glass lantern slides. These were used by Father John Fraser to promote missionary work in China after founding the China Mission College<\/i> in Almonte, Ontario in 1918. The slides record Father Fraser\u2019s impressions of China from 1908 to the 1930s, as well as testify to the message he wished to convey to the Catholic people of Canada.<\/p>\n
