The Reel Memories of the Lakehead is a partnership between The Thunder Bay Museum and the Friends of the Finnish Labour Temple. Our two interns have been hired to complete the film scanning project, Dr. Tom Peotto, and Katie Green. This involves digitizing the 16mm reels, which were originally donated to us by Fraser Dougall and span from approximately 1958-1978, as well as researching and cataloguing them to allow those interested to find footage of memorable events.
