FREE ONLINE PRESENTATION: “A HISTORY OF BROCKVILLE PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDIOS”

Leeds & Grenville OGS Branch Presentation

Join us on Monday, March 3rd at 7:00 pm via Zoom for a presentation on A History of Brockville Photography Studios by Alice McMurtry from the Brockville Museum.

This presentation will shed a light on some of the leading names in photography’s early days in Brockville. We will explore how photographic technology has changed over time, and look at photography’s impact on the development of tourism in Brockville. This talk will be highlighted by photographs from the Brockville Museum collection. Do you have family photos taken by a Brockville photographer? Learn more about the photographers who took them, and the studios they operated. It may even help you to identify “mystery photo” sitters!

She has extensive museum experience, having worked at the Royal Ontario Museum, the Ontario Heritage Trust, the City of Toronto History Museums, the Bata Shoe Museum, Black Creek Pioneer Village, and other cultural institutions across the province.
