Jaime Vedres {Photography} – Lethbridge Photographer

Earlier this year Campbell Peat donated a pile of very old photographs to the Galt Museum. I had the opportunity to help preserve and document these historically significant photos for the Galt Archives. Below Peat holds a photo of his relative William Stafford at one of very first mine entrances in Lethbridge. Above Campbell Peat flips through the book “Nineteenth Century Lethbridge” his relative Annie Laurie Stafford Peat wrote. Below is a my restored version of the photograph. -Entrance to No. 1 Drift Mine with William Stafford on the right and an employee, McLean, on the left. The machine is an air-powered cutting device; approximate date is 1883.-
