Scope and content
Primarily photographs, both in color and black and white, collected and taken by Seisuke Okazaki. The few textual records are important official documents for Seisuke, including the passport he used to come to Canada, his Vancouver driver license from the early 20th century, and leases when he and his family settled in Toronto. The photographs include his life in Vancouver, and then family photographs in Toronto. Some of the photographs are of friends and family, sent to Seisuke. Some of the albums and photographs are of family and friends in Japan. Other photographs were collected and created by Mary, primarily from before her marriage with Jack Hemmy.
