History

*** UPDATE: ON 30 MAY 2014, THE DONOR’S WIFE, VIOLET MARTIN, VISITED THE GALT TO DONATE ANOTHER CAMCORDER PREVIOUSLY OWNED BY HER HUSBAND GEORGE. WHILE THAT CAMERA WAS NOT ACCEPTED FOR THE PERMANENT COLLECTION, AN IN-DEPTH INTERVIEW WAS CONDUCTED WITH VIOLET WITH RESPECT TO HER AND THE DONOR’S EMIGRATION FROM INDIA, ENGLAND AND THEIR MULTI-DECADE RESIDENCY IN LETHBRIDGE. MUCH OF THE INTERVIEW DEALS WITH GEORGE’S DESIRE TO DOCUMENT THE WORLD AROUND HIM WHICH INCLUDES HIS SOURCING AND USAGE OF HIS DONATED CAMERA EQUIPMENT. FOR MORE INFORMATION, INCLUDING A TRANSCRIPT OF THE NEAR-4000 WORD INTERVIEW, PLEASE SEE THIS DONATION’S PERMANENT FILE AS WELL AS OTHER DONATIONS BY THE DONOR.
