collections which was made
available. The team moved to Guelph
for a week to add another 300 images
to the data bank.
Next the team was able to get
access to a collection at the
University of Western Ontario in
London. Though there was a large
collection there, they found many
duplicates and ended up with an
additional 40 unique photos.
Among this collection, however,
were several of Sallows' stereoscopic
photos which they had known he had
taken but they'd never been able to
find examples. They also found a
microfiche recording of Sallows' day
book that logged every photo he had
taken between 1911 and 1917 and
who he sold it to, an invaluable
addition.
Sallows enjoyed his work so
much that he continued to take
photographs long after a
normal retirement age. In fact he was
on his way to take a photo at a
summer camp at Kintail, north of
Goderich, in 1937 at age 81 when his
Ford runabout hit loose gravel and
overturned. He was conscious when
pulled from under the car but his
chest was crushed and he died 14
hours later in hospital.
His work is a proud part of
collections in museums and homes
across the country but there had been
no gallery devoted to his work until
the Sallows Gallery opened. Now,
thanks to the digitalization project,
researchers or hobbyists can visit
Sallows' photos from six collections
conveniently on line and learn about
one of Canada's great photographers.
For those who want to see some of
the photos in person, the Sallows
gallery offers a changing display
from its collection so even if you
visit a second time in the future you
could see photos you hadn't seen
before.
You can access the gallery, the
largest collection of Sallows' work,
by entering on the main entrance to
the library, at 52A Montreal St. Take
the elevator and stop at the
mezzanine level. The gallery is open
Tuesday to Saturday from noon to 5
p.m.0
