Photos are a powerful art form. They tell stories. They showcase Ottawa’s beauty and greenspace. They celebrate our successes and failures. They document our history, one moment at a time.
The City certainly understands the power and importance of photography. The City employs two photographer/videographers to document the City’s daily activities and events. And the City of Ottawa Archives acquires photos from the community and the City to help document our history. Their collection currently stands at over 3 million photos, portraits and images, dating back to Ottawa’s origins.
The current City photographers, Chris Bricker and Phil Renaud are responsible for documenting Ottawa’s current history through their lenses. They attend City events and capture and preserve these moments in time.
“The connection you can make through photographic imagery is powerful. Now that everyone basically has a camera with them at all times - it’s really become humanity’s most popular communication tool,” said Bricker.
Renaud agreed, adding: “Photography is a very powerful medium, it allows us to connect with the people around us and create memories from the moments in front of us.
Photographs from City photographers and other departments are routinely transferred to the City Archives. But what about Ottawa’s past? Ottawa’s history has also been captured on glass plate negatives and film as well as daguerreoptypes, tintypes, prints and other formats. Many of these photos have been donated to the Archives and are accessible at the City of Ottawa Archives. They have over 3 million photos in their collection.
The City owns the copyright for many of these images and permission can granted to use them in publications and exhibitions.
Researchers and residents can access City Archives’ photographs either in person at the City of Ottawa Archives or through its growing online catalogue of images on Ottawa Museums and Archives Collections.
To order a photograph, contact Reference Services at archives@ottawa.ca or call 613-580-2857
The City of Ottawa Archives is located at 100 Tallwood Drive. The Central Archives Reference Room is always closed on Mondays, Sundays, and statutory holidays but is open Tuesday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Archives staff ia also available to speak at community events. Please contact them at archives@ottawa.ca for more information.
