History
is the account of things said and done in the past—it has
the power to delight and enrich us, enlarging and intensifying
the experience of being alive. ASLH |

| Starting
with the “Historical Project” in the summer of 1985
the WCA collects records (documents and photographs) related to
the past of Whonnock and Whonnockians. Since 1997 the growing collection,
known as Whonnock Archives, has been kept at the Mission Community
Archives. The collection is accessible to anyone interested in our
past. |
|
| The Whonnock
Community Association endorses the publication of information from
the Whonnock Archives, such as the Whonnock Notes, and welcomes
research using the archives as well as any suggestions and actions
that would contribute to a better knowledge of the past of our community
and its inhabitants. |
|
| The
Whonnock Community Association asks you to search your boxes and
files for any documents or photographs relating to Whonnock and
Whonnockians. If you don’t want to donate the documents or
photographs, we would be very happy to just keep a copy or scan
in the Whonnock Archives. Give us a chance to preserve the past. |
