Not everything in the Fox Talbot Museum is photography-related. Simon, Collections Assistant, cites these stelae: "Fox Talbot taught himself to read #hieroglyphics, and helped decode #cuneiform writing. Imagine being the first to read these tablets after thousands of years."

August 1 marks the actual day in 1834 that the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 came into effect across the British Empire. Therefore on August 1, Canadians are invited to reflect, educate and engage in the ongoing fight against anti-Black racism and discrimination.

#EmancipationDayCanada

Emancipation Day celebrates the strength and perseverance of Black communities in Canada.

Canadians are not always aware that Black and Indigenous Peoples were once enslaved on the land that is now Canada.
