From 1976-79, I worked for the Western Canada Pictorial Index which was housed at the University of Winnipeg. The Index was the collection of historic photographs that was built upon an earlier collection done for Manisphere. It was helmed by Eric Wells, formerly of the Winnipeg Tribune. I suggested and was allowed to photograph contemporary events to add to the index. I began covering job actions, protests, events, solar power installations and sports projects. After leaving that position, the Index was placed under private ownership but was eventually returned to the University. I had kept copies of the few photographs presented here but do not know if the collection is still intact.
