In April 2009, the Jewish Museum and Archives of British Columbia, with help from UBC’s Irving K. Barber BC History Digitization Program and the Department of Canadian Heritage’s Museums Assistance Program, put 4,000 photos from the Leonard Frank Photos Studio fonds online. These photographs are available through the Artefacts Canada database, the largest database of museum collections in Canada.
The Leonard Frank Photos studio was located in suite 44-553 Granville Street, and later 614 West Pender Street in Vancouver, British Columbia. The Leonard Frank Photos Studio fonds is one of the largest collections held by the Jewish Museum and Archives of British Columbia amassing approximately 39,000 photographic images and 2 meters of textual records.
The Jewish Museum has also uploaded some of the finest photographs from this collection to our Flickr site. Click on the following link to be directed to our images on Flickr!
