Ernie Doe Archives Room

Visit us at the Ernie Doe Archives Room, located in the Montebello building at the R.J. Haney Heritage Village. Named for author of The Centennial History of Salmon Arm, the archives room contains microfilmed copies of the Salmon Arm Observer (1907-2005), and numerous textual and graphic records in addition to other archival material.

The archives houses 150 Fonds, or archival collections, 14,574 photographs, 200 maps, and 63 lineal feet of paper records. Of special interest is a collection of more than 900 glass plate negatives created by professional photographers Rex Lingford, Francis Duncan, and Hector J. Perrier dating from 1909-1917.

The archival holdings illustrate the history and economic and cultural development of the Shuswap area. For Fonds level descriptions visit the BC Archival Union List ~
