Transferred to the Bradford West Gwillimbury Public Library Archives from the Library's records in February 2024.

Black and white photograph of author and professor David Laing Dawson. Includes a printed biography stamped with "Bradford Public Library" pasted onto the back. Likely included as part of an annual "Mystery Night" event at the Library held in 1992, which the subject participated in.

The back reads: "DAVID LAING DAWSON | David Laing Dawson was born in 1941 in Victoria, British Columbia. After completing his undergraduate degree at the University of Victoria, he hitch-hiked through Europe before entering the University of British Columbia Medical School. Mr. Dawson performed part of his residency in Canada and part in Cambridge, England. | He spent five years travelling through Northern Ontario as a consultant to mental health services, and is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario. | He is the author of Last Rites (Macmillan, 1990) and, most recently, Double Blind (Macmillan, 1992).
