The Extended Moment: Fifty Years of Collecting Photographs at the National Gallery of Canada (English)

Ann Thomas and John McElhone

This lavish publication celebrates fifty years of collecting photographs at the National Gallery of Canada. When the NGC began acquiring photos in 1967, few museums viewed the medium as fine art. Thanks to the passion and dedication of early supporters, a comprehensive collection has taken shape over the past half century. Drawn from one of the world’s most significant photographs holdings, The Extended Moment highlights the collection’s rich diversity, chronicling its formative years and exploring how the technical photographic process has evolved.
