History
Georgia Harriet Cunningham, the youngest of three daughters of saddler and justice of the peace James P. and his wife Lucinda (Whitman) Cunningham, was born at Kentville in 1888. Georgia moved to Bridgetown shortly after her father's death in 1907 and was joined there by her mother and sisters, Grace (1883-1967) and Alice (1884-1955). In 1909 she purchased the former photographic studio of Joseph Rice on Queen Street in Bridgetown and commenced work as a photographer. She was a member of the Maritime Professional Photographers Association and was awarded an honourary lifetime membership. She died at Bridgetown on 1 November 1969 following a short illness and was buried at Whitman Cemetery, Lawrencetown.
