Glenbow Museum: Calgary in the 1950's

Curated by ACT

Jack de Lorme was a photographer for the Calgary Sun in the 1950s. His photographs form the basis for this exhibit which explores the city of Calgary at that time. It is designed for Grades 3 to 6. This was a critical time in Calgary's history as oil was discovered in Alberta in 1947, which made Calgary, as the oil industry's headquarters, the centre of enormous economic growth.
