Visitors Overlooking Waterton 1934

Featuring L-R: Harold Long, Marjorie Oliver and Joan Oliver, this image was produced during making of a film for Parks Department by William J. Oliver in the summer of 1934. Dating primarily from the 1920s through the 1940s, the photographs of W.J. Oliver chronicled life in and around Calgary.

In addition to capturing the streets and people of Calgary, his images recorded the Calgary Stampede, outdoor activities at Vermilion Lakes, Waterton, Banff and Jasper National Parks, and his own family at their Diamond L Ranch.
