One family donation can add a lot of information to the archives about a community, the Rorem fonds is a very good example. The collection consists of photos of organizations and clubs in the early settling of Valhalla. It is always a welcome addition to the archives to see how the communities came together to socialize and plan events. SPRA is always looking for more records to add, so if you have any photos of a club, organization or group that was in the South Peace why not bring it in so it can be shared. We take donations that consist of one photo, a single piece of paper or a family/group/business collection . If you would like the history of your community, club or event to be preserved and shared then we are what you are looking for!

Here is a sample of the photos in the Rorem fonds.
