A 1930s photo of the Fraser Mills baseball team is one of thousands of historic images held by Coquitlam Archives, a city department led by Emily Lonie.
Last year, she received 21 acquisitions for municipal preservation, including pictures and documents from the Riverview Hospital Historical Society and Coun. Craig Hodge, a photographer who worked for The Tri-City News and The Columbian newspapers.
As part of its ongoing digitization efforts, the department also added 412 items last year to its online search portal Quest.
As for this year, the archives will continue to build up collections and call for historical photos and paperwork from the public.
