Photographs

Approximately 175,000 photographs contained in nearly 300 collections illustrate the province and its people since the middle of the nineteenth century. They record daily life, and events both significant and commonplace. Subjects include architecture, natural landscapes, monuments, transportation, military life, celebrations and social occasions, sports and leisure activities, portraits, and people at work, in school and at worship.

The collections are used extensively in publications, exhibitions, lectures and educational programs, and are frequently selected to enhance the interiors of homes, businesses and public buildings.
