Description
An account of the resource
These "real photographs" of Melrose Abbey in Scotland were issued by the Ancient Monuments Department, suggesting that the photographs were not only created as souvenirs for visitors, but that they also played a role in the documentation and preservation of historic monuments. Photography's usefulness in historic preservation was recognized early on; in 1851, the French <em>Commission des Monuments Historiques </em>launched the <a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/heli/hd_heli.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Mission <span>Héliographique</span></em></a><span>, a project that employed five photographers </span>to photograph historic sites across France.

An account of the resource
The photographs included in <em>Calgary, the City Phenomenal</em> help support the claim that Calgary is "the continent's fastest growing city" by emphasizing modern aspects of the city. The selection of photographs includes a train crossing an overpass, large and imposing buildings—including a city hall with a clocktower resembling London's Big Ben—a lineup of automobiles outside a firehall, and views of "a few of Calgary's many industries."

Description
An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This poster points toward the disciplinary use of photography described by art historian John Tagg in his book </span><a href="https://www.photopedagogy.com/john-tagg.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Burden of Representation</span></i></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Tagg observes that photographic technologies led to a "democracy of the image" in the latter half of the nineteenth century, with many more people represented in portraits than ever before. But Tagg explains that such portraits were not always honorific; sometimes portraits were a burden to their subjects, especially when the photographs were used to fix identities in pre-established categories. Such was the case with this poster, which identifies its subject, James Harry Finn, as a criminal.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “mugshot,” as it came to be known, and <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3100">identity cards</a> were standardized in nineteenth-century Paris by police photographer <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/visibleproofs/galleries/biographies/bertillon.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alphonse Bertillon</a>.<br /><br />This poster was donated to Bruce Peel Special Collections by Jeffrey Moore.</span></p>

Description
An account of the resource
This group portrait of a graduating class in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, brings together 49 individual portraits, mostly sharing the same oval shape and similar poses, facing forward or turned slightly to the side. The similarities between them, and the regular rows in which they are arranged, suggest that this group of disparate individuals share in a collective identity. <br /><br />This approach to the group portrait, where many individual portraits are assembled together, differs from the <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3065">portrait of plumbers and steamfitters</a> and the <span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3104">portrait of members of the first Chinese church in Victoria, BC</a> included in this exhibition.
