Inside Toronto: Urban Interiors
1880s - 1920s


Saturday April 26th, 2008 at 2:30 p.m.

 

Dr. Sally Gibson will give an illustrated talk about her most recent book, Inside Toronto: Urban Interiors 1880s - 1920s. Based on 260 archival images and extensive original research, Inside Toronto is the first book published anywhere to investigate the complex, interior life of a single city - the ordinary and extraordinary places where Torontonians of all types lived, worked, shopped, and performed the rituals of daily life. Gibson's book was short-listed for the 2007 City of Toronto Book Award and won the 2007 Heritage Toronto Award of Excellence for books.

After ten years as a professional archivist, Dr Gibson is now Manager of Heritage Services for the Distillery Historic District.
