Biographical history

John McQuarrie (1946- ) is an Ottawa-based commercial photographer who specializes in producing coffee table books.

John McQuarrie's earlier photographs for publications focused on the Canadian Air Force, from World War II to the Gulf War, and the Forces in their role as Peacekeepers. His later photography has focused on the cattle business and the working cowboy, as well as aerial photography featuring various cities.

McQuarrie has published several books where his photographs are featured, notably: Above Canada: then and now; Between the lines: Canadians in the service of peace; Canadian fighter pilot; Canadian wings; Great centennial cattle drive 1896-1996; Cowboyin'; Cowboyin' II; Ottawa over time; Rodeoin'; Til we meet again: recapturing moments of the RCAF in World War II, and Toronto, then and now.

Custodial history

Scope and content

Fonds consists of photographs of Toronto and vicinity taken by John McQuarrie. Many of the photographs were used as source material for the book "Toronto then and now" by Mike Filey (Ottawa: Magic Light Publishing, c2000). McQuarrie co-designed the book and provided the contemporary photographs.

Subjects covered include Toronto landmarks and buildings, neighbourhoods, parks, public art, skyscrapers, roads and highways, and waterfront areas and beaches. The area covers Toronto east of the Humber River to west of the Scarborough Bluffs, and from the waterfront to Pearson Airport and York University. Over half of the images are low-level oblique aerial photographs. The particular images used for the book have not been identified or set aside.
