It's World Photography Day!

From early reports of the invention to its wide application during World War I, photography created anticipation and participation in the modern world. A History of Photography in Canada: Volume 1 by Martha Langford captures this phenomenon by looking at hundreds of early photographs and by listening to the chords they struck in the collective imagination.

A History of Photography in Canada, Volume 2 shows how photography moved beyond recording events to actively shaping them, transforming how Canadians imagined themselves and their country.
