Peter and Doris Kule Centre for Ukrainian and Canadian Folklore, Edmonton, Alberta, 2022

Lena and Thomas Gushul immigrated to Canada in the beginning of the 20th century, they married in 1914, and opened their first photo studio in Coleman, AB sometime in 1917 or 1918. These Ukrainian Canadian photographers left a wonderful legacy: in addition to a rich collection of negatives and photographs, they also saved hundreds of letters written by their relatives, friends, as well as the Gushul Studio patrons. The authors of this publication hope that the reader will share their love and appreciation for the talent of these photographers and the beauty of their works.
