I semi-regularly visit Library and Archives Canada, so if you would like photographs of a document there send me a line and I might be able to accommodate you.

Re: Canadian Virtual War Memorial Inconsistency

The latest update here is that the records not being shown "were added in error or are duplicate records." While that is some sort of explanation, duplicate records would indicate that the name should show in the Honour Roll under another record unless the duplicate records have different dates of d...

Re: Frank Hurley: The Mad Photographer of World War I

As long as the fact that some images are composites is made clear I don't see an issue, are they a true representation of their subjects? That's a more complex question to explore.
