Aldergrove – In July 2021 former Aldergrove Star newspaper editor Kurt Langmann donated a set of 29 microfilms to the Alder Grove Heritage Society to augment the donation of physical copies of the 1957-2000 newspaper and photographs by his parents, Mr. & Mrs. Rudi Langmann in 2003.

In December 2021, Alder Grove Heritage Society applied for and received financial assistance from the Library British Columbia History Digitization Centre Programme (BCHDP) to have the microfilms digitized by the Irving K.

The funding covering $4163.77 of the total $6751.65 cost, with the remaining $2587.88 for the project very generously donated by Alder Grove Heritage Society’s supporters.
