The Importance of Preserving Our History

Our history is a precious tapestry, woven with the threads of our ancestors' lives. It is a story of triumphs and tragedies, of laughter and tears. It is a story that deserves to be preserved and passed down to future generations.

One of the best ways to preserve our history is through photographs. Photographs capture moments in time, allowing us to glimpse the past and understand the lives of those who came before us. They can also be used to document important events and places, ensuring that they are not forgotten.

The Cruising Ontario 112 Project

The Cruising Ontario 112 project is a volunteer-driven initiative to preserve the history of Ontario's Highway 112 by collecting and digitizing historical photographs. The project was founded in 2016 by a group of local historians and photographers who were concerned about the loss of many of these images.

To date, the project has collected over 10,000 photographs, dating back to the early 1900s. These photographs depict a wide range of subjects, including people, places, and events. They provide a valuable glimpse into the history of this region, from its humble beginnings to its present-day prosperity.

The Book: Saving Our History One Photo at a Time

The book "Saving Our History One Photo at a Time: Cruising Ontario 112" is a collection of some of the most compelling photographs from the project. The book is divided into four chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the region's history.

Chapter 1, "The Early Years," features photographs from the late 1800s and early 1900s. These images document the arrival of the first settlers, the construction of the railway, and the development of the region's agricultural industry.

Chapter 2, "The Boom Years," covers the period from the 1920s to the 1950s. This was a time of rapid growth and prosperity for the region, as new industries emerged and the population increased.

Chapter 3, "The Changing Landscape," explores the changes that have taken place in the region since the 1960s. These changes have been driven by factors such as the decline of the manufacturing industry, the growth of the tourism industry, and the increasing urbanization of the region.

Chapter 4, "Preserving Our Heritage," highlights the importance of preserving the region's history. This chapter includes photographs of historical buildings, landmarks, and events that have played a significant role in shaping the region's identity.

The Cruising Ontario 112 project is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Ontario. The book "Saving Our History One Photo at a Time" is a beautiful and informative collection of images that provides a unique glimpse into the past.

I encourage you to learn more about the project and the book by visiting the Cruising Ontario 112 website at www.cruisingontario112.com.
