Description |
The Fred Dahms fonds consists of slides taken by Dr. Fred Dahms between 1959-2011, for the most part in the late 1970s and between 2000-2005. They include streetscapes, landscapes, buildings and interiors, agriculture, people, and events throughout Wellington County. Some of the images were taken during family outings or while visiting friends and villages in Wellington County, and several feature the photographer's wife, porcelaine artist Ruth Dahms (nee Keilhau). They were married 20 December 1958. At time of donation (2013), Dr. Fred Dahms is Professor Emeritus, founding member (1966) and former Chair of the Department of Geography, University of Guelph. His specialties are urban geography, planning, and the evolution of small rural settlements. Dr. Dahms notes that he refers to the latter as " 'resort, retirement, amenity communities' rather than 'dying villages' as they had been labeled by some who had done little real research on their evolution." He has written many academic papers and chapters of books concerning small towns in Canada. His books include The Heart of the Country [Deneau Pub., 1988], Beautiful Ontario Towns [Lorimer Pub., 2001], Picturesque Ontario Towns [Lorimer Pub., 2003], and Wellington County [Boston Mills Press, 2008]. Dr. Dahms took many of the slides in this fonds to illustrate his academic and popular publications. [ Note: each series is catalogued as a separate record ].
