The Louie Palu Collection

While working on the Cage Call project Louie was awarded a history research grant from the Ontario Heritage Foundation to document historically significant mine sites that were being demolished. Working with long time writing partner Charlie Angus, the two traveled throughout northwestern Ontario and northeastern Quebec documenting the visual and oral histories of the mines. The fieldwork resulted in a published bilingual catalogue titled Industrial Cathedrals of the North. The Library and Archives of Canada deemed the work of national significance and acquired 50 prints for the permanent collection at the Archives.
