History / Biographical

Morris Predinchuk was a professional photographer, who during the period 1987-1999, was retained by Brandon University to photograph convocations and graduants. Each of the personal portraits was the product of a contract between Predinchuck and a graduant for a graduation photograph. Morris Predinchuk died in Moosomin, Saskatchewan on January 16, 2007 at the age of 75 years.

Custodial History

The images were picked up by the Archives from Predinchuk's business in the Towne Centre Mall on Septemeber 27, 2005.

Scope and Content
