PHSC president Clint Hryhorijiw
Toronto. Exec meeting #60 via ZOOM was held on the glorious 4th (as our neighbours to the south say).
Our treasurer, John Morden, sent out his report before the meeting. In future, this item will be split between John as treasurer and Jeri as financial controller.
Newsletter editor Patrick Gunn also sent in his written report. The July newsletter is underway. Please note that as response from those wishing to buy/sell items has been slow in light of the many modern alternatives (ie eBay, et al.), Mr Gunn plans to revise the use of this space.
Our fall auction will be hosted on a Sunday in November 2025. A suggestion by Jeri Danyleyko to post the Bidder Form on this website as a convenience for future Auction Bidders met with enthusiasm and it is now posted (See AUCTION> Auction Bidder Registration Form).
Day Lilies – the blossoms last for only a few hours; the plant lives on for decades … like meetings and minutes.
And for those choosing to buy or renew a membership, please remember our journal is now in ‘pdf format’ only, so an email address is essential. A MailChimp notification is sent to all member emails when each journal pdf is produced and uploaded.
If you are a member but HAVE NOT seen any notification for Photographic Canadiana since you registered or renewed, please email Lilianne at member@phsc.ca.
The PRESS menu item has been modified to note that the Robert Wilson book on Benjamin Baltzly is now out of print. Through the generosity of Dr Wilson’s estate, a pdf copy is now posted for free use by all interested parties.
Arrangements for the fast approaching trunk sale (This Sunday!) are well underway. John Morden has created and issued this clever poster which will remain pinned to the top of page one of this site until the Trunk Sale is is over.
Journal issue 51-1 is underway with work to continue once our editors complete various family tasks. A book on the history of Canadian photography for 1839-1918 is due for release next month and will be reviewed in a coming issue.
Our social media editor, Ms Markovic has provided a brief update for instagram. Take a peak at this interesting site.
And as they say in that old song, “See You In September”.
