ALHS Archives Closed During COVID-19 Pandemic

2020-03-16

In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Arrow Lakes Historical Society has decided to close our archives and office inside the Nakusp Centennial Building until such time as it is considered safe to reopen. Visitors and non-director volunteers are asked to not come to the office during this closure. As we rely upon our volunteers to answer emails, fulfill research requests, and process photograph and publication orders, please expect extended delays in responses from the ALHS during this unusual time.

We thank you for your understanding and your support and hope to see you all again very soon.
