Howdy ya’ll. Welcome back. Today we are going to take a deep dive into some of the oldest Photographs of Manitoba, Canada. Within this Province we have such locations as the city of Winnipeg, and more esoteric yet historically valuable locations like Turtle Mountain (the site of First Nations occupation after the last Ice Age).

Interestingly, even as we’re told Manitoba developed towards the latter end of the 19th century, what we lack throughout all the outstanding buildings that we will look at today are construction photographs of any kind.

Overall, we will look through over 50 detailed and never before seen photographs of Manitoba, with a majority dated to circa 1903 or earlier. Most photographs today come to us directly from the private collections of the Manitoba Historical Society, and subsequent Canadian Architectural forums.

All the while, we will briefly go over the currently accepted narrative for this historically important piece of Canadian North America, while discussing the importance of Manitoba, and the meaning of the name, amongst indigenous groups of the region including the Cree and Sioux. Overall, this was a very informative and revealing video to make, showcasing pieces of history and architecture which I have never seen shared anywhere else before!

I appreciate you all being here, and look forward to your thoughts and ideas in the comment section down below. Please like, share, & subscribe to my channel for more Old World photographs and History content.
