Part of the larger "Guidebooks from Memory" book series, this text is the culmination of a multi-year community-art project which asked residents of Hamilton to submit memories connected to places in our city. In contrast to traditional tourist guides, which often spotlight well-trodden attractions and landmarks, this series dives into the intimate, everyday stories and connections that make places like Hamilton uniquely meaningful.
Beautifully illustrated by Jojo Chooi-Harley and featuring an accompanying soundtrack by local musician, Jonathan Harley, the book invites you to explore Hamilton through the stories of our fellow residents.
