Published purpose

The Canadian Heritage Photography Foundation (CHPF) will digitize part of a collection of photographic negatives bequeathed by George Hunter, Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. Specifically, the organization will digitize 4,000 images of Ontario (the collection includes over 100,000 images), including scenes of mining, aerial photography, farming, cities, small towns and portraits, dating back to the 1950s and up to 2010. This project will make these images available on the CHPF website and enable researchers, local community groups, historians, teachers and the public to access them for reference, historical context, and representations of Ontario’s cultural diversity.
