The Western Canada Photographers List- 1860-1925

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 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 information will help you to identify who is in the picture.

• Example: If you have a picture with the photographer's stamp of "J. T. Ashley" you can lookup J. T. Ashley in the every-name index, see that this person appears on page 82. Flip to page 82 and you will learn that J. T. Ashley. was a photographer who worked in Cartwright, Manitoba from 1892 to 1894.
