TimeLinks is designed to help people explore themes and ideas in Manitoba History between 1910 and 1920. It provides a general overview of the period and to assist users in the selection of topics for essays and projects.
The TimeLinks Image Archive gives you access to over two thousand images from Manitoba's history. While the images are primarily photographs, the collection also contains maps, pamphlets, brochures, posters, advertisements, and selected pages from newspapers, magazines and product catalogues.
TimeLinks is concerned primarily with the decade from 1910 to 1920. There are also some more recent photographs, primarily of representative housing types, and they are used where no photograph contemporary to the period is available.
There is a navigation bar running across the top of every screen. Use this bar to search for specific terms in the collection or look at a list of articles related to the topic.
Search: Find images in the Archive using place names and words in their descriptions.
Image Archive: Images are sorted by category. Click on a category title to bring up a list of image titles that fit the category. Images are listed in all categories which apply to them.

Imbedded in the text of every page are a number of links to related pages. Click on the highlighted text to view these pages
