Custodial history
Scope and content
This fonds consists of records created, accumulated and used by Larry and Dorothy Easton of Regina, Saskatchewan, in the creation of digital photographic images of architecture, landscapes, plants and animals throughout Saskatchewan and some parts of Alberta. Associated documents and multimedia presentations related to the photographic work are also included. The images were created for possible use in published works and other projects, in related presentations, and to document other subjects of interest. Most of the images were created between 2002 and 2017, but some are also scanned copies of photographic prints and slides created in the 1970s through 1990s.
Three series have been applied to the records in this fonds: Legacy of Stone: Saskatchewan's Stone Buildings series; Legacy of Worship: Sacred Places in Rural Saskatchewan series; and Other Works series.
