Who photographed the Porcupine Camp?
The renowned Harry Peters photographed the Porcupine Camp from the beginning of its inception, and the Great Fire of 1911 was one of his first achievements. The Porcupine Camp is one of the first localities in the world to have its entire history documented by photography. Dating back to its origins with the first major discovery of gold by Jack Wilson and Harry Preston (Dome) (North America’s longest continually operating gold mine), the history of Timmins is recorded in pictures.
