The Art of Ectoplasm: Encounters with Winnipeg’s Ghost Photographers

 An examination of the séance photographs and research of Winnipeg physician T.G. Hamilton and his wife Lillian, created in the years following the First World War. Drawing on the Hamilton Family Fonds at the University of Manitoba, the essays situate the images within the history of psychical research, spiritualism, photography, religion, and modern art.

Contributors address the social and scientific context of the séances, the participants involved, the archival history of the collection.
