Settlement and urbanization of the Canadian Northwest coincided
with the greatest popularity of the postcard. Settlement, along
with the building of a transcontinental railway and the
industrialization of central Canada, were the three pillars of the
National Policy in the years following Confederation. These themes
also were the subject of thousands of images preserved in
postcards. By the first decade of the 20th century, many cities,
towns, and villages were home to photographers who produced a mass
of these fascinating and informative images. Many were personalized
views of first houses, home farms or family groups and events.
Others documented important events, disasters or buildings with
broader importance. Together they comprise a valuable resource that
presents a unique impression of a significant period in the history
of the Canadian West.
