May 7 1945 – Toronto celebrated VE day and John Boyd snapped this photo for the Globe (from the Toronto Archives).
Toronto. Old Photo collectors are fortunate. There are so many categories of old photos to choose from – or collections can be eclectic!
One such category could be tagged as “celebrations” – national events, country based events, corporate events, anniversaries, birthdays, etc. etc.
The photo at left shows Torontonians celebrating the end of the war in Europe known as VE Day. A few months later in August it was VJ Day and the end of WW2 in Japan – and the beginning of the atomic age.
While we can’t really say you will find ‘celebration’ photos at our fall fair on October 19th, we can say you will find lots of interesting items for your collection. Take a peek at the poster pinned to this site until the show, or read the September PHSC News.
