These two images, a 19th century tintype and a 20th century Polaroid, represent the range of photographs to be featured in the new exhibit, An Archival View: History of Photography on the North Shore (1860-2021).
An Archival View is a physical and digital exhibition of more than 80 archival photographs selected from MONOVA: Archives of North Vancouver. Created by Archives intern Emily Sylman, the exhibition presents a history of photographic processes (1860-2021) through examples found in the archives, with a focus on the technological evolution of photography and the changing social uses of images.
The exhibit officially opens in person (by appointment) on Nov. 15 at the Archives of North Vancouver (3203 Institute Road) and online on Nov. 22. For more information contact the Archives team: [email protected]/604-990-3700.
