[BCMA] Snapshot of History at Revelstoke Museum & Archives

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Revelstoke Museum & Archives is celebrating the 150th Anniversary of
Canadian confederation by choosing 150 historic Revelstoke photographs.

Snapshot of History - 150 Revelstoke Photos provides an opportunity for
people to view some of the best photographs in the museum's collection, and
to vote for their favourites. Each Thursday, the museum will post a gallery
of about 20 photographs on the Revelstoke Museum & Archives Facebook page.
Visitors to the page can vote for their favourites in each gallery by
clicking "like" on the ones that catch their attention. A total of 32
galleries will be posted until the end of September. The 150 top photos will
then be mounted and displayed in the museum, and a select panel of local
citizens will be invited to choose the top 10. 


The first gallery was posted on Facebook on February 16, and more than 460
votes were recorded. The winning photograph in the first round was a 1960
photograph by Estelle Dickey of 77 year old Edmund Woods, and 1 year old
Henry Okumura, the oldest and youngest members of the Revelstoke Ski Club. 

 

Revelstoke Museum & Archives is excited about this opportunity to share our
photographs with the wider community, and to discuss them together through
social media.

 

Here are the first two galleries:

Gallery 1: http://bit.ly/2lTkOg1 

 

Gallery 2: http://bit.ly/2lNCaKm 

 

We invite you to check out the galleries and participate in our project.
