The Ontario Photographers List - Volume 1 (1851-1900)

By Glen C. Philips

An invaluable guide to help you identify the place and date when a photograph was taken. Many family history researchers have boxes of photographs, but do not know who is depicted in the photo nor when or where it was taken. This is the first of two volumes.  The second volume covers the years from 1901 to 1925

This book lists individual photographers, where they worked and when. That means that if you have a photograph that includes a photographer's stamp or other identification you can easily find out when and where that picture was taken. Oftentimes that will help you to identify who is in the picture.

Example: If you have a picture with the photographer's stamp of "D. W. Cameron" you can lookup D. W. Cameron in the every-name index, see that this person appears on page 16. Flip to page 16 and you will learn that D. W. Cameron was a photographer who worked in Carleton Place, Ontario from 1895 to 1897. That information tells you where, and about when the photograph was taken.

This is the first of two volumes.  Both volumes are organized alphabetically by municipality. However, a comprehensive index is also included. Historical place names have been kept.
