In 1946, a thousand historic negatives were destined for a landfill, but for their accidental discovery by Alfred Booth. He gave the box with the negatives to his son Dudley, then 14 years old. This opened up a life-long passion for history and photography, and now almost 70 years later, Dudley Booth is offering this fascinating and unique collection for viewing at The Silk Purse Arts Centre.
Mr. Booth will also present a lecture and slide show, about the exhibition images, and almost 100 other photographs in his collection, a true Canadian historical treasure.
