A Biographical Index of Daguerreotypists in Canada 1839-1871
“...anyone researching the daguerreotype era in Canada will find Graham Garrett’s biographical index thorough, systematic, detailed – definitive. It will furnish researchers, not only of photography but of many historical hues, a welcome shortcut through the dense thicket of primary sources.”

Compiled and written by one of Canada's foremost experts on early photography, Graham W. Garrett, this index provides the most complete and exhaustive listing of people and companies in Canada involved in the making of daguerreotypes.
This index identifies about 780 individuals and companies whose activities related in some way to the daguerreian process and includes all information that could be found about the location of their activities, their lives, their relationships as well as giving references to recorded evidence of their activity.
To further assist researchers, the author provides finding aids to help locate listed individuals through their geographical location or by a selection of useful "keywords." Further research background is provided by a bibliography of over 150 contemporary editorials giving the date of publication and identifying the newspaper carrying it. Finally there are nine appendices accumulating listings of nearly all the referenced publications, institutions, exhibitions etc. mentioned in the index.
Last, but by no means least, there is a gallery of 18 daguerreotypes which are of historical significance because they are all demonstrably the product of Canadian activity in the art.
This CD is fully searchable using the "search" and / or "find" functions of a PDF reader and runs on any computer fitted with a CD reader and having a PDF reader application installed. We recommend the use of Adobe Reader version 6 or higher.
