Bestandsgeschichte
The H.H. Hamm collection came to the Mennonite Heritage Centre largely from Mrs. Neta Eamer (a daughter of H.H. Hamm). The Archvies became aware of the collection through the Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature. Follow-up contacts in November 1977 and early 1978, led to the Mennonite Heritage Centre securing the collection.

Eingrenzung und Inhalt
These photographs fall into several different categories. The first 206 are pictures of individuals or groups of people with whom the Hamm family was acquainted. Among these are wedding pictures from the pre- and post- World War I era. Also included in the collection are photographs of public buildings (Altona, Gretna and Ninette in Manitoba). In some cases there are photographs of people related to these institutions as well. Some Winnipeg and Altona pictures show street scenes from the era of 1914-1930. Finally, there are photographs on a variety of other themes such as transportation and travel (British Columbia and Europe). The transportation photos include old bicycles, cars, boats, trains, horse and buggies, and ferries. The travel photos are primarily natural scenery shots of British Columbia. There are also a few photographs and postcards from pre- World War I Ukraine.
