The selection of photos and films I chose is the tip of the iceberg. For Stan’s post war work and beyond, copyright considerations limited my choices, but still allowed some wonderful examples of his work. A complete filmography is included below.

THANKS

Pulling the pieces together to make this website has been fun.

Thanks to my late brother Mike for getting the ball rolling with his digitizing and organizing of photos, and to my daughter Meg Murray for calling me on my good intentions by presenting me with an empty website.

Thanks also to the staff at Library and Archives Canada who helped me navigate the Crawley Films Collection, and work within copyright regulations: Dale Gervais, Film Conservator and Archivist (now retired); Steve Moore, Senior Archivist, Audiovisual Archives Branch; Lynne Lafontaine, Consultation and References Officer (now retired); and Nancy Fay, Manager, Copyright Services, Access and Services Branch.

Thank you for visiting. If you wish to further use any of the images here, please ensure that you provide a credit to the photographer, where possible.
