Squamish History Archives
The Squamish Public Library manages a digital collection of thousands of historical photographs, newspapers (1948-2001), documents, and audio recordings.
We have migrated all the existing digital historical records from two databases to a single database: BiblioBoard.
Access the Squamish History Archives here.
If you want a high resolution copy of any of the photos in the archive, please email library@squamish.ca. Please note we charge $15 per requested image. We ask that you credit Squamish Public Library Archives in your use of each image.
