The Summerland Museum has released a portion of its collection online.
The collection, with more than 10,000 records, is available for the public to view at collections.summerlandmuseum.org.
Museum staff hope that in the future, more photos will continue to be added into the collection and that they will have the opportunity to share their artifact collection online as well.

Staff at the Summerland Museum and Archives Society would like to acknowledge the Museums Assistance Program and the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen for their financial assistance.
