After months of development, our website now offers an enhanced experience that brings together our advisory services with groundbreaking digital resources. At the core of this new platform is a simple, overarching goal: to share. This is why we are dedicated to sharing the John Little Archive, celebrating our favourite artists, and highlighting unique discoveries from across the industry to foster a deeper connection to Canadian art history.

The John Little Archive

At the heart of our new platform is the John Little Archive — a monumental project preserving the legacy of Canadian artist John Little (1928–2024) made possible by the contributions of Ariela Alperstein and Lillian Dumbrille. This archive contains:

Over 11,000 digitized photographs.
Detailed artwork catalogue spanning six decades of Little's career.
Biography and timeline tracing his artistic journey.

The archive is being gradually released, is freely accessible to everyone.

Digital Discovery Tools

Daily Discovery

Each day, our homepage features a new Daily Discovery — a curated spotlight on a subject from our archive. From historic Montreal streets to architectural landmarks, these daily features offer fresh insights into the stories behind John Little's work.

Subject Index

Our comprehensive Subject Index organizes the website content by location, theme, and subject matter. Whether you're researching a particular Montreal neighborhood or exploring artistic themes, this index makes it easy to find exactly what you're looking for.

Community Help

We're seeking community help to identify the precise locations in photographs from John Little's archive. Do you recognise the streets, buildings, or neighbourhoods? These scenes may be from Montréal or elsewhere — your knowledge could help us piece together the stories behind these images.
