Custodial history:

In 1972 Anthony "Tony" Archer, a prominent Vancouver photographer, retired from business and sold his studio and post-1960 negatives to Stephen Miller and David Olds. At the time of his retirement, Archer contacted the National Archives of Canada and deposited the pre-1960 material, consisting of negatives and proof prints of Archer's work. Miller subsequently took over the business completely, changing the name of the studio to Stephen Miller Photography. In 1976, the National Archives agreed to purchase from Mr. Miller the negatives and proofs then on deposit at the National Archives of Canada, plus the material he retained from Archer.
