Jock Carroll’s ‘Marilyn’ and other photos go to National Archive

    From CBC Arts:

    The National Library and Archives in Ottawa has obtained the photograph collection of Canadian photojournalist Jock Carroll.

    Carroll spent three decades travelling the world for news organizations like Maclean’s, Weekend Magazine, Colliers and Sports Illustrated. He died in 1995 at age 76.

    During a long career, he put together a personal archive of more than 21,000 photographs, among them a famous collection of Marilyn Monroe photos…

    In 1952, he was assigned to photograph Monroe on the set of Niagara for Weekend Magazine. He had three days to shoot the screen goddess, and the very candid collection was gathered in 1996 in Falling for Marilyn: The Lost Niagara Collection.
