Included in this set of images are photos from one of Macnamara’s scrapbooks. The map of Champlain’s route is not part of the scrapbook; however it is included in this display to show Macnamara’s interest in Champlain’s precise travels and his knowledge of the Ottawa Valley. Also the image of Macnamara himself is from another scrapbook and is included to provide a short biography. The last three images are in the order that Macnamara included them in his scrap book. The first of these three puts the area around the site into context, the next images move incrementally closer showing further details of where the astrolabe was found.
Macnamara’s photos have been scanned from glass plate negatives. Around the side of each photo the emulsion’s edge is still visible and is a reminder of the medium used by Macnamara.
