Them Days Editor and Curator, Lorne Hollett, is inviting everyone to this informative evening, which will showcase early photos of Northern Labrador.
Judge Jim Igloliorte will be guest speaker at the event and will tell of his first-hand experience of Labrador.
"Thirty-one years ago, the late Doris Saunders was hired to prepare a book of stories as told by the elders of Labrador", said Mr. Hollett Doris saw the potential of something great and established an on-going quarterly publication, which we still have today."
Them Days Archives & Publications has been called, "... the greatest source of Labrador archival material in the world."
"I am encouraging everyone to attend this event, as we need the public's support to help us achieve our goal of a proper archive, so that our valuable collection is kept safe for years to come," said Mr. Hollett.
Refreshments will be provided and every person who attends will have their name entered in a draw for a gift set of back issues of Them Days.
