About this ebook

What places in Hamilton hold significance for you? What stories or ghosts linger in the corners of your neighborhood or along your daily commute?

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.
