Show detail Hide detail

Fonds consists of majority of professional photographic works produced by Edward J Spiteri. Spiteri's work reflects his love of Calgary and southern Alberta (where he was raised and lives).

The fonds contains early works produced while abroad in Britain and Malta (Spiteri is of Maltese heritage). It also contains works from the National Film Board's project "Between Friends" which culminated in the publication of a book by the same name. This book explores communities living along the US-Canada border. Other photo essays in the fonds include a series on the conditions in the Lethbridge and Spy Hill provincial jails, and another on life in the Hutterite community of Standoff, AB. The Calgary Series consists of prints created during Calgary's centennial for the book, "Calgary, Images of a City." Fonds also contains portraits of WO Mitchell, images of bridges and landscapes in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Later work includes the Homeless essay which was started in 2004.
