Item is one scrapbook in two separate boxes. Compiled by F. G. Banting probably with the help of Sadie Gairns, his research assistant at the Banting Institute. The scrapbooks include personal and family photographs, letters and memorabilia. For conservation reasons all items were removed from the original acidic scrapbook pages, remounted on acid-free paper and then encapsulated in mylar. The original layout of items on each page has been retained. The items are not in chronological order. Scrapbook 2 includes: school reports, diplomas, degrees and certificates, clippings and photographs documenting F. G. Banting's life, career, and death 1930-1941. Also includes Christmas cards reproducing paintings by Banting and the memorandum of co-operation between the Connaught Antitoxin Laboratories and the researches of Dr. Banting, Mr. Best, and Dr. Collip ... dated January 25, 1922.
