The Okanagan Archive Trust Society brings together the works of the region's most prolific photographers, spanning from the late 19th century to the present.

We regularly receive donations of archival materials vital to our area's history. Our dedicated volunteers meticulously sort, clean, and process thousands of photos, maps, documents, and memorabilia, ensuring that future generations can access and appreciate this collective heritage.

Your support through the purchase of our services directly contributes to preserving each piece of history. From acid-free envelopes to advanced environmental control systems, we ensure every item is cared for properly. Help us continue this important community work.

The Society is guided by a team of donors and historians. For over 30 years, a collaborative group of photographers, estate representatives, and collectors have combined their resources to make their materials accessible to industry professionals, publishers, and the public.

In 2005, the Okanagan Archive Trust Society was officially incorporated as a charitable organization.

Our website, oldphotos.ca, is the most effective platform for accessing Okanagan history. Designed with the Archivos retrieval program, our site offers a user-friendly experience for viewing and ordering historical materials.

As a self-sustaining public archive, the Society relies on the sale of high-quality products and services to fund its operations.
