Biographical history
Gordon Snelgrove was a painter and teacher of Art and Art History at the University of Saskatchewan. He was born in 1867, and was appointed as a teacher of Art History at the University of Saskatchewan Regina Campus in 1936. A few years later he moved to the Saskatoon campus as the head of the Art Department, and he continued teaching there until his retirement in 1962. He passed away four years later in 1966. He is acknowledged as being perhaps the first Art Historian in Canada to receive a PhD in his discipline, and the Snelgrove Gallery on the U of S campus, which plays a role in providing learning and professional opportunities for students, still bears his name.
Custodial history
Scope and content
Incomplete collection of 35mm slides used by Gordon Snelgrove in his teaching. These slides were in circulation until 2010. The paper mounted slides include handwritten notes in blue and red pen by Gordon Snelgrove.
Snelgrove’s previously used glass lantern slides were discarded when the Department of Art and Art History moved from the Hangar Building to the Murray Building. Many of the 35mm slides have also been discarded or re-mounted in plastic as the original cardboard mountings were damaged with time.
Also included is a copy of a book annotated by Snelgrove entitled.
