Image Research and Study Collection

The images described here date from [ca.1955] to [ca.1980] and include photographs taken by George Swinton during his first trips to the Arctic during the 1950s. The images consist primarily of black and white photographic negatives and prints with a much smaller number of colour images. The subjects are Inuit sculpture and prints or drawings, with a small number of fur and fabric hangings also depicted. There are also some images of artists, workshop interiors and community landscapes. The images are literally a snapshot of Inuit art during the 1960s and 1970s with a large number of those images consisting of items then held in private collections.
