NAME: National Film Board of Canada, Still Photography Division.
WHERE/WHEN ACTIVE: Canada/1939-1984.
BUSINESS ADDRESS: Ottawa, ON.
STATUS: Government.
BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY: Established as a branch of the NFB, the Still Photography Division, as its name implied, documented Canadian life through still photographs. Within a decade of its creation, the division employed six full-time photographers, some of whom travelled through British Columbia on assignment. Among these photographers who captured aspects of life in BC during the 1940s were George Hunter, Ronny Jacques, Jack V. Long, Gar Lunney, Nicholas Morant, and Harry Rowed. The division and its successor actively circulated these photographs through travelling exhibits. In January 1985 the Still Photography Division was closed and the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography (CMCP) established as its successor. The CMCP's own building at 1 Rideau Canal, Ottawa, was opened in May 1992.
COLLECTIONS: OOA (negatives); OOCMCP (prints).
