Atlantic Canada, the Cradle of Photography in Canada by Jeff Ward takes place on Sunday, March 17, 2024 at 7:30 PM ADT.
An amateur historian and retired professional planner, Jeff Ward publishes regularly in Photographic Canadiana, the journal of the Photographic Historical Society of Canada. Since 2015 he has focused his research on identifying and documenting the photographers who were active in the four Atlantic Provinces in the first 100 years of photography – 1839 to 1939 – in an adventure he calls The Early Light Project.
This presentation will cover the first 25 years of photography [1839-1864] in the Atlantic Region (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador) and will include nationally significant events which happened in the region at this time. It will also discuss the types of photography being undertaken (covering the gamut from sun prints to albumin based emulsions), as well as some of the personalities involved.
