The following is shared by the BCHF on behalf of Okanagan Archive:

Okanagan Archive is excited to announce that we are back in action and more dedicated than ever to sharing the rich history of the Okanagan Valley with our community. After overcoming the challenges of the pandemic, we’re thrilled to unveil several new initiatives aimed at reconnecting with history enthusiasts and the public.

One of our major highlights is the reimagining of Archivos, our magazine that has been a staple since 2005. We’re revamping Archivos to bring you fresh perspectives and enhanced content, starting with a newly designed fall issue. This updated version will continue to offer the in-depth articles, stunning visuals, and compelling stories that you’ve come to expect, but with a modern twist that reflects our evolving approach to documenting and celebrating local history.

In addition to the magazine, we are proud to present our newly redesigned website at www.okanaganarchive.ca. This revamped site serves as a comprehensive resource for exploring our extensive collection, accessing digital archives, and staying up-to-date with our events and publications. We’ve worked hard to make it both user-friendly and rich with content, making it easier for you to engage with our historical materials.

At Okanagan Archive, we are passionate about preserving and celebrating our local history. As we continue to dig deep into our vaults and complete the scanning of valuable historical pieces, we look forward to sharing these discoveries with you.
