I'm looking for old pictures from the early 1900's and as far back as possible of Cliff Street (St. Vincent's, convent, and the other area buildings, etc).

I've found a few online but not much. Does anyone have any of these photos or know where else I could look?

Perfect! Do you have them in digital format? Would you email them to me? Let me know and I'll send my email over in a PM.

The germain zeppelin Hindenburg is seen here in May 1937 on its historic voyage en route to New York, passing through Saint John as it follows the coast. The old General Hosiptal can be seen in the foreground. The 242-metre (804-foot) dirigible, which was filled with 2.1 million cubic metres of hydrogen, exploded in the air above New Jersey May 6, 1937, killing 37 people, including 36 of the 97 people on board the air ship. This photgraph was taken from Mount Pleasant by Gladys Donovan.
