Hello all,

I've updated the spreadsheet for the documents we're collecting and saved it in the "Archive" folder on Dropbox. I've also made us each a folder there to upload documents. Make sure that all documents uploaded to your folder are entered into the spreadsheet and labeled with the reference number you've assigned it. This could become a mess if we don't keep things organized from the beginning. If you want to add a new tag, or change an existing one, make sure that you add it in all the sheets so that the tags are consistent. It will probably be easier for me to make the tags more board in the future, so if you're not sure about a tag, it is better if it's more specific.

I also went to the View Royal Archives today. One volunteer has compiled a book about her father who was held in Germany as a POW for 3 years. I'm in contact with her sister to get digital copies of the oral histories, letters, and photographs she used.

I've also been in contact with the Central Saanich Archives and they are keen to be involved.

In the afternoon, I started to call the local band offices. I have a few good leads and I will follow them tomorrow!
