Southwestern Ontario Digital Image Archive
Welcome to the Southwestern Ontario Digital Image Archive, a multi-faceted resource hosted by the Leddy Library at the University of Windsor. It is dedicated to assisting faculty, students, and other researchers in their exploration of southwestern Ontario history and culture.
This region has a long and rich history. This history encompasses habitation by Aboriginal groups, early French settlement led by Cadillac, the Jesuit mission to the Huron/Wyandotte Nation, Black fugitive settlement, and the vital role of the underground railway. In the later 19th and early 20th centuries, the region was a hub for industrial development and an important area for the study of management/labour relations in Canada.
