Published purpose
Further to research conducted in 2004 and 2005, Exporail wishes to complete a project on Sir W.C. Van Horne by producing a travelling exhibition that will be presented at Exporail before being proposed to other Canadian institutions. This research included many works of art, but very few archival records. Having acquired the Canadian Pacific Railway Company (CPRC) Fonds in 2013, the Canadian Railroad Historical Association (CRHA) wishes to further explore its content - particularly Series 1, which is entirely dedicated to Van Horne - in in order to enhance the project and allow for a more intimate look at Van Horne’s personal and professional lives.
