Brigham Young University has granted permission to exhibit a selection of Edith Irvine’s photographs.

Edith Irvine was born in 1884 in Sheep Ranch, Calaveras County California, in the Sierra Nevada foothills. In April 1906 Edith embarked on a tour of Europe with her camera, arriving in San Francisco by boat from Stockton on the morning of April 18, 1906, only hours after the earthquake. Over several days she recorded more than 60 stunning images of the aftermath of the earthquake and fire.
