From Nigel- Greetings, Welcome and Thanks so much for stopping by! It is you, the viewer who keeps me doing what I do- largely- as a hobby which started in November of 2022.

"BLACK & WHITE PHOTO RESTORATIONS, COLORIZING AND RESOLUTION UPSCALING TO RE-LIVE THE MEMORIES OF YESTERDAY."

3 years in so far. This archive started out as an archive for colorizing black and white photos- after which it's grown into a history archive spanning 130 years and includes anything from Kissinger Lake to the Kinsol Trestle and anything in between on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

So get yourself a drink, a snack and sit down and peruse the archive for however long you wish! Divided and organized amongst several albums and over 5000 photos and counting, You will find everything from Lake Days in Lake Cowichan to Early days of Lake Cowichan, Duncan, Nitinat, Caycuse, Logging Camp 3, Logging Camp 6, Early days of Shawnigan Lake, BC Forest Museum, The heydays of the Hillcrest Lumber Company, Logging by various companies in the Cowichan Valley and innumerable class photos from past years of the Cowichan Valley- the majority submitted from friends, family and a growing list of contacts on this journey. There will also be MANY uploads of Annual yearbooks from the Lake Cowichan Schools simply for everyone's enjoyment. You will also find many memories of Hockey Memorabilia from the Lake Cowichan District Minor Hockey Association- Solely for the purpose of being able to upload ALL photos in resolutions HIGHER than 2000 pixels either side- and the ability for ANYONE to view the photos in full resolution without the need of an account.

With a job as a computer tech for Seaside Computers in Duncan for 9 years, Working as a computer tech myself for about 20 years, My late father as a computer consultant since I was old enough to even remember- and a job on the side doing media transfer- this is merely a hobby- but many VERY enjoyable hours are spent doing what you will find.

My business outside of the computer shop- Recapture Your Memories- www.recaptureyourmemories.com

So- Many thanks for visiting- drop a line, e-mail me and absolutely feel free to leave comments!
