Administrative history

Following his service in the Canadian Army during the Great War, Wilfred Lawson West (1896-1970) returned to Regina, Saskatchewan and purchased the Johnson Brothers photographic studio where he had apprenticed in 1912. He renamed the studio West's Photo Ltd. Wilfred West retired in March, 1955 and sold his business to his brother, Horace, who had worked as a photographer at West's Studio intermittently throughout the 1920s and 1930s. Horace Gordon (Westy) West (1911-1995) continued ownership of West's Studio until his retirement in 1981, when his son Michael (Mick) West (born 1947) assumed ownership. Mick West, who had been employed with West's Studio since 1968, continued its operation until its closure in 1986.

Throughout its history, photographic works of West's Studio Ltd. included portraits of prominent politicians to local families, images capturing infrastructure, commerce, industry, as well as scenes of social, cultural and recreational life in Regina.
