Administrative history
George Ronald Nelson was born on January 2, 1915 in London, Ontario. Nelson began his career as a professional photographer in 1932. For a time, he operated as G.R. Nelson Photography. He served as an official photographer for the Royal Visit of 1939. Nelson served in the Royal Canadian Air Force and Navy between 1941 and 1946. Nelson received a licence from the City of London to operate a photography business in late 1946. This business was known as Ron Nelson Photography. The firm's work was primarily commercial and aerial photography, although some individual and group portraits were done as well. The Province of Ontario established a corporation called Ron Nelson Photography, Ltd. in October, 1966. Nelson transferred all of his assets to the new corporation later that same year. In 1985, Nelson began to wind the business down by selling off many assets, including his studio at 388-392 Horton St. The corporation was formally dissolved in 1990. Ron Nelson died on April 4, 1994.
