Unidentified group with big smiles [2016.032.002.0786]
Big tech companies and government agencies have the advantage of using facial recognition software to help them identify individuals from digital images. While I love a good conspiracy theory, I’ll break the myth and let you know that as a small community archives, we do not have such technology in our possession. However, we here at the Chilliwack Museum and Archives have a secret tool that Google, Facebook, and large agencies do not have. We have a great set of dedicated
volunteers and a community that cares about preserving Chilliwack’s history.
Unknown individual doing something important [2016.032.002.0784]
Today I am going to tap into the community (you) and ask for help. Throughout this blog you’ll notice photographs from a large collection. The donor, I, and our volunteers have all tried to identify these remaining photographs from this large collection. Unfortunately we have not had any luck. This is when I ask you to kindly put on your archives hat and see if you recognize any of the individuals in these photos and/or maybe the event itself.

Any information you have on these photographs is appreciated. Feel free to contact me directly if you recognize these photographs and I will gladly update our database. You can find my contact information at the bottom of the blog post. After you’ve looked at all the photographs of course.
Kids being patient [2016.032.002.0788]
Just three more photographs to go. How about this fantastic family on the right with “smiling” kids?

Almost done. How come this family is so lucky? They appear in a few of these photographs!
Where is this store? I don’t know, do you? [2016.032.002.0791]
You made it to the final image… for now. Recognize where this store is?
Thank you for looking.
