Making women visible: Correcting Gender bias in Archival Photo Records
These photographs from our archives feature people whose names and stories have yet to be identified — especially women who have long remained unseen in the historical record.
We invite you to help us recognize them, reclaim their identities, and add their stories back into our shared history.
Every face tells a story, and every story matters.
If you ‘re familiar with any of these individuals, place, or any relevant information, please comment or share that information with archives (archives@esquimalt.ca). So, we can update our database and online collection to provide a more accurate picture.
Let’s build our history together!
