The late Harry Hunt was very well known and loved in our community. He was known as "the man with the camera" and your Aldergrove Community Museum & Archives is very proud to be the caretaker of the Harry Hunt Collection - literally thousands of photographs in print and CD format spanning over a couple of decades - all very generously donated by Harry's daughter, Laura Hunt.
We are incredibly grateful for this donation, and while it's going to take our little band of digitizers a number of months to catalogue the entire collection, here is a tiny sampling of Harry's work.
Today's post features print photo scans. Not all photos have information on the back but as we work our way through the hundreds of CDs we will be better able to at least date the photos as all of them have a label, and many have handwritten lists with dates, places, events and sometimes names. Many we will eventually be able to match up with the newspapers in which they appeared. Plus, we have another great source of information - you - our Aldergrove Hive! If you recognize people, places, events or know dates, please share with them with us. =)
