Thomas Connon
(1832-1899) and his son,
John R. Connon (1862-1931) were professional photographers
active in Elora, Ontario.
Known for using innovative techniques and experimenting with
new and ground-braking processes Thomas was considered a photographic
pioneer. John followed in his father's footsteps as a prolific
photographer and inventor of photographic equipment.
Very few photographic collections in the Archives holdings contain
examples of as many different processes as the Connon collection.
Among the photographic formats and processes are collodion
and gelatin glass negatives and stereograph
negatives, tintypes, albumen
and early gelatin prints (on cabinet cards),
panoramas, lantern slides, and
a paper negative.
