This past summer a fascinating set of original photographs belonging to a former cannery worker, Mrs. Helen Moysiuk, was lent to our Society for scanning so that the digital copies could be added to our Historic Photo Collection. Almost all of the images (173 of them!) were taken by Mrs. Moysiuk while she was living and working at the Namu Cannery on the central BC coast during July and August of 1948.  Look for these photos and more in our Historic Photo Database.
