A very big thank you, to everyone who was able to join us this afternoon for the first Community Records Photo Identification lunch! With your help, we have new information and confirmed identifications on 28 photos. We are so excited to add this information to our records, knowing that in addition to the photos, we can now also preserve the names and memories of the people and places they depict.

We will be having a second Photo ID event, most likely another lunch sometime this spring. We will share more details on that event in the near future.

In the meantime, we welcome you to visit us if you would like to view and identify more photos at the Archives & Colllections offfice. Please call us at (509) 258-9622 to set up a time. We are open Mondays - Thursdays 7:30am - 4:30pm.

We look forward to seeing you at the next lunch!

We understand surveys are not everyone's most favorite thing to do. Ours is only one question, will take you less than a minute. All we want to know is what would work best for you, lunch or dinner time, for our next Community Records event. Here is a link along with a QR code, if you are attending tomorrow's event at the Wellpinit Senior Center we will have hard copy's of the survey. Thank you

We finally got everything back to our building and slowly unpacking from 10 days at the Spokane County Interstate Fair. We want to make sure to give another shout out to our presenters. We had Cameron Stoflet our STOI NRCS liaison, Devon Peone and Louis Bates doing an extraordinary job with telling our Coyote Stories, Bill Matt Sr. and Conor Giorgi giving a wonderful presentation on our efforts of bringing salmon back to region. For the second year we’ve sought the help of Cathrine Harper and Velma Brehm they were instrumental in helping us get the drum groups and dancers for both Saturdays. Thank you to everyone who made this a successful fair.
Please if you stopped in and checked our stand out please let us know what you thought. Also, if you have ideas of things you would like to see next year we are open to suggestions.

Allow me to introduce the newest member of our team. Brianna Gomez is the Spokane Tribal Preservation Program Tribal Archaeologist and is a recent graduate from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where she earned a double major in Biology and Anthropology. Her passion for archaeology began when she participated in a field school study at the Cradle of Humanity in Tanzania, Africa, providing her with valuable hands-on experience in the field. Having spent half of her life in Colombia, she brings a unique multicultural perspective to her work and studies. She has a deep love for travel, which complements her academic interests and broadens her understanding of diverse cultures and environments. Her academic background and hands-on fieldwork have prepared her for her current role supporting the local tribe and community. Brianna is excited to begin applying her knowledge and skills to help preserve and protect cultural heritage. On her free time, she loves to bake, draw, and explore nature.
