A number of negative reproductions of the maps found in Series 5 "Maps and plans" were included in their transfer from the AO. All except 3 had their original counterparts in the series. This file contains three negative reproductions of maps whose originals cannot be found in the "Maps and plans" series. They are:
1) [Plan Showing Crown and Clergy Reserves in Essex & Kent Counties] (print and negative), [ca. 1795]
2) [Sketch of the Canadian Part of the South Shore of Lake Ontario], (negative), created by Elizabeth Simcoe, [1794]
3) Sketch, probably of Fort Jefferson. 29 April 1794.

File includes originals and reproductions of proclamations made by John Graves Simcoe in his capacity as Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada. It includes proclamations calling parliament at Newark and fulfilling his administrative duties in the position.

Parchments in this file predate the rest of the collection, and appear to be related to land ownership in England. The provenance of the contents of this file are unclear, although due to the presence of similarly dated material in the rest of the collection, they may be related to the Gwillim family's activies.

File includes two leases, one from Andrew Pinson and John Seed to John Graves Simcoe, and another from Elizabeth Simcoe to Thomas Hunter.

Includes photographs of the Simcoe memorial in Exeter Cathedral, Elizabeth Simcoe’s spinning wheel, and a wooden building with a plaque reading “Simcoe Erected 1794”—presumably John Scadding’s cabin.
