Last month marked a happy milestone for the Arrow Lakes Historical Society, as we uploaded our 20,000th photo to alhs-archives.com! We’re still only about 60 per cent of the way finished uploading our photos, as it will take years more to process what we have already, and by the time we finish those, we’ll likely have thousands more, but that’s a really good problem to have! We remain humbled by the support from our repository has received from our donors and patrons.Lucky photo No. 20,000 is the shot seen here, taken from page 33 of the Nakusp and District Sports Centre opening day programme, released April 1, 1971, showing part of the inaugural roster of the Nakusp midget hockey teams.
