I am interested in the photos of Japanese Canadians interned in Greenwood, BC and would like to copy these photos and put them in a binder in our internment exhibit in the Greenwood Museum. I am able to copy these off your website, with your permission. and would like to try and identify some of the people. This is becoming more difficult as so many have passed away.
Is it possible to have a photocopy of the above booklet “Among the Japanese Canadians in British Columbia” by Isabel McIntosh Loveys? this would also be put on display in our exhibit. We currently have one binder of St. Columba United Church photos on display in the internment exhibit.
Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Doreen MacLean Greenwood Heritage Society (Museum, Archives & Visitor Centre) 214 Copper, Greenwood, BC
