Hello Julie 1920 was a decade or two before my time ;-) I did a bit of an online search and was unable to find any mention of a present St. Clair Studio photography studio Vancouver Area. I have several 'postcard' photos of family members that are ancient with no notation of where they were produced. Luckily my Gran wrote notations on the back of photos or beside them in her photograph album. Then there were the photos with no notations and impossible to remove from the album which made for a frustrating experience. (All this is reminding me that I have 12 CDs of scanned images from her albums that I 'ought' to get back to work on assembling for online and extended family (not necessarily in that order)) Sorry I wasn't more help. Do know that I can identify with a certain level of frustration.

Hi, Just a thought - Perhaps contacting the City of Vancouver Archive -would be of help. If the studio actually was in Vancouver - I am sure that they would have access to information . Do you know for sure - that the studio was in Vancouver - and not - New Westminster BC or other location in B.C. Perhaps Provincial Archive would be able to help.
