This searchable database offers a "photographic memory" of Canada. From the site:
Featuring photographs from various public and private collections, Framing Canada: A Photographic Memory presents a searchable database of digitized photographic images from 1843 to the mid-20th century. These images tell the fascinating and ever-changing story of how Canadians see themselves and their world.
Framing Canada also offers "Photographic Collections," a history of LAC's photo collections, as well as the following thematic essays: "Nation Building," "The Canadian Mosaic," "Portraiture," "Aboriginal Peoples," "Amateur Photography," "Photojournalism," "The Evolution of Photography," "Commercial Photography," "War and Conflict" and "A Sense of Space."
Other sections of the website are a glossary of photographic terms, photographic albums, the weird and wacky photographs in the collection, and educational resources.
The Framing Canada database offers only a portion of the 25 million images available from LAC. To search more imagery, see the ArchivaNet photography database.
This search tool allows you to consult almost 400,000 descriptions of photographs, modern and old, as well as have access to some 41,000 digitized images on-line.
