Everett Baker

Everett Baker was born in Blue Earth County, Minnesota in 1893. In 1918 he married and settled down on a farm near Aneroid, Saskatchewan, where the couple had two children. In 1939 Baker purchased his first Leica camera, and from that year until the late 1960s he shot over 10,000 images of the people of Saskatchewan. In 1981, just weeks before his death, he donated his slides to the Co-operative College of Canada. The collection is widely regarded as one of the province's photographic treasures.
