Saskatoon: A History of Photographs

This coffee-table pictorial history, in its new paperback edition, celebrates the people, events, and edifices that highlight the city's history. To commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the incorporation of the city, Saskatoon: A History in Photographs documents the growth and the successes of the Hub City and its people in the 20th Century. A dozen chapters, written in an accessible, popular style, each contain a written summary of a particular period in the city's development. However, as the titles suggests, the book is primarily pictorial - numerous photographs illustrate significant buildings and street scenes, and people engaged in social, political and cultural activities. In addition to fostering interest in the history of Saskatoon, and providing an attractive memento of the city's centennial, Saskatoon: A History in Photographs provides a useful update and companion volume to the long-out-of-print Saskatoon: A Century in Pictures, which was published in 1982. The new book showcases the city's recent history, and the new images that have become available to researchers since the original publication.
