They both play croquet, apparently!

Digital Initiatives is currently digitizing selected images from the Arkley Croquet Collection, which is housed in UBC Library’s Rare Books and Special Collections.

The Arkley Croquet Collection contains more than 2,000 images taken from a variety of media and dates from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century. As you can see from the images below, it contains some fantastic scenes.

We’re expecting to have the collection up after this year’s croquet season, so check back soon for all the croquet-related images you can imagine.
