An antique photo album showed up at Global Edmonton over a year ago. Our investigation has unearthed tantalizing clues, but the mystery of the book and its images remains unsolved.
Sarah Ryan is a reporter and anchor at Global News Edmonton. This is her first-person account.
For more than a year, I’ve has been trying to discover the secrets behind a mysterious antique photo album delivered to Global Edmonton.
It arrived at the TV station in 2023 — with no note, no return address and no context.
The album is full of sepia photos, many of which were taken in Scotland. How they ended up at a news station in Edmonton… I set off to find out.
Many of the photos are posed, portrait style images, clearly taken in studio. Others are candid, amateur pictures depicting life on the Prairies.
First, I thought perhaps the book had been stolen. Perhaps the thief had a change of heart and was returning it to a safe space. But Edmonton police didn’t have any reports of missing antique photo albums.
So then, I thought I’d bring the album to a local photography expert: Fay Cunningham, from the Antique Photo Parlour at West Edmonton Mall.
“For the age of it you know, it’s in really good condition,” she said, her eyes lighting up as she turned the album over in the hands.
