Summerland was our third site visit and first overnight trip. It also happens to be Sharon’s hometown!<\/p>\n

We worked in the back room of the Summerland Museum and Heritage Society, surrounded by boxes of archived materials. We quickly got to work on the pre-selected photographs, which came with measurements and plenty of information ready to be plugged into our metadata spreadsheets.\u00a0Also in the collection was a Women’s Institute minute book, which Alex took to scanning using our Xcanex portable scanner. We captured over 500 original scans during the course of our visit.<\/p>\n

While Sharon was able to easily make her way home, Alex and I stayed overnight at the home of the Summerland Museum’s archivist in Penticton. We enjoyed a couple of meals at downtown restaurants and an evening walk by the water. We even spotted the SS Sicamous, which I recognized from several photos we had scanned earlier, now converted into a museum and permanently docked on Penticton’s shore. It was a great little moment of seeing history come to life!<\/p>\n

As per what quickly became my tradition, I also picked\u00a0up several souvenirs from Summerland. I was happy to find that there was a branch of the Okanagan Regional Library just a hop away from the museum, and I picked up as many books as my travelling messenger bag could handle. Pictured here are the ones yet to be returned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
