<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Oliver, BC – From Nov. 8<sup>th</sup> to 12<sup>th</sup>, the Oliver Archives is offering residents help in learning more about the veterans in their family trees. “Research to Remember Week” will run Nov. 8<sup>th</sup>,
9<sup>th</sup>, 10<sup>th</sup>, and 12<sup>th</sup> from 10 am to 1 pm, and provides a chance for visitors to drop in and learn how to look up veterans in their families.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">“Many Oliverites have relatives or ancestors who served in the military, going all the way back to the World War I veterans who built the Ditch irrigation system,” notes Executive Director Julianna Weisgarber. “This is
one way for people to learn about their relatives’ experiences and to start the process of gathering those family stories.”
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Research resources will include signage explaining how to use the archives to find information on past residents, as well as handouts with lists of online databases focusing on veterans and military service records. There
will also be a small display of archival objects, photos, and documents relating to veterans, volunteers, and workers on the Home Front. Archives Assistant Alec Wolff, who curated the display, will be available to help direct visitors in their search.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Alec states, “I really look forward to helping the community with this research. I believe it’s a really valuable thing to remember a loved one’s service, and there are few better ways of doing that than finding pieces
of their past that can broaden the rich story of a veteran’s life.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Building capacity limits will apply and masks will be required indoors. Please note that this event will not run Nov. 11<sup>th</sup> to allow for the observance of Remembrance Day.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
