Sept., 2016: Del Brocco Family fonds

One of the first Italian families to settle in Vaughan Township, the Del Brocco family emigrated to Canada in 1913, taking up residence first in Toronto before moving to the hamlet of Carrville in 1919. Consisting of 28 photographs taken from 1919-1949, the fonds chronicles the daily lives of the Del Brocco family, with an emphasis on Carrville School S.S. No. 3 and Carrville Mill, and also provides a glimpse into the prevalent occupations, working conditions, modes and systems of transportation, architecture, landscapes, and styles of dress in early to mid-20th century Vaughan Township.
