We, at CPO, want to promote other sites and projects we believe in. Here are the links:

CONTACT is an annual festival of photography in Toronto, during the month of May, with over 1000 local, national and international artists exhibiting at almost 200 venues. Founded as a not-for-profit organization 16 years ago, and now a charitable organization, the festival is devoted to celebrating, and fostering the art and profession of photography. It stimulates excitement and discussion among a diverse audience that has grown to over 1.8 million. CONTACT is the largest photography event in the world, and a premiere cultural event in Canada.
George Eastman House, an independent nonprofit museum, is an educational institution that tells the story of photography and motion pictures. An amazing place to visit if you are ever in Rochester, New York. The camera collection here is like nothing else in the world.

An amazing resource for studying the history of images in Canada. The database is easily accessible and we at CPO spend hours combing through these collections. A must see for anyone interested in photography.
