WITH THE new archive now available for the Heritage Park Museum, staff is asking for people to donate their historical items or to provide them to be scanned for the archive.
Items will be put on display after they’re catalogued in future. Anything about Terrace and area, Old Remo, Lakelse Lake or Doreen and area is what the museum is looking for.
And the museum received a donation of old items from the archives at the school board office from retiring school employee Margaret-Ann Baxter.
That includes maps, report cards, year books, Lloyd Frank’s entrance certificate, trophies, class photos and even old nibs from pens that were dipped into an ink well and then used for writing, which Helene McRae, member of the Terrace and District Museum Society, said she used in school.
There’s a box of year books from the 1960s, a Skeena High School graduation photo from 1962, and a report card of longtime resident Otto Lindstrom.
McRae also noticed a photo of soldiers being shipped out from Prince Rupert during the First World War and said her grandfather Charles Durham could be in the photo as Terrace people went through that port too. Anyone who wants to donate things to the museum or take them in to be scanned and the originals returned can do so anytime during regular museum hours.
