Family photo: Switchboard operator (Polaroid) 1950's
One of our family members was a switchboard operator at the local regional hospital here in Victoria, B.C., Canada. We are not sure what the occasion was, but here she is posing in front of the switchboard with another operator and someone else.
For those too young to remember:

This is a Polaroid instant photo of some type, with part of the film strip still attached: I have included a scan of the printing on the back which identifies the make but I don't think the serial number is of any relevance. Based on family memories this photo probably dates from the mid to late 1950's. I've no idea what happened to the colour, if there ever was any.
