Photos by local freelance photographer Frank Webber will now available through the Esplanade archives.
“With a lifetime in the community and 40-plus years working with the Medicine Hat News, Mr. Webber has an immense knowledge of the community, its people and activities,” archivist Philip Pype said. “These connections are reflected in this great resource that Mr. Webber is sharing with the community through the archives.”
It took nine months for the City of Medicine Hat Archives in the Esplanade Arts & Heritage Centre to catalogue and digitize hundreds of Webber’s photos that were taken between 1973 and 2009 as an independent photographer.
Detailed descriptions of these are available at esplanade.ca and through Alberta on Record albertaonrecord.ca.
Reference services for the archives are available to the public by phone: 403-502-8582 or in person Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. or online at archives.esplanade.ca
