It's a fantastic resource/archive. I met John Warkentin once when I was working as a summer student at Ross House Museum in Point Douglas in the 1990s. He must have been close to retirement at that point. He was visiting Winnipeg and was wandering around the area with this camera. I imagine a lot had changed since the 50s and 60s when the Winnipeg photos in this collection were taken.
