In the late 1940s Elmer Harp, a young PhD candidate at Harvard, began the first of five summers of exploration along the coast of the Strait of Belle Isle. Interested in studying early human activity in the area, Harp became equally fascinated with life in outport communities. During the summers of 1949-50 and 1961-63, he traveled from one isolated outport village to the next, vividly capturing everyday life in his journals and his extensive Kodachrome slides. Lives and Landscapes reproduces Harp's photographic documentation of the region and time.
