Frances and Ron Welwood

Our interest focuses primarily around the Shawn Lamb Archives. As an early Provincial Archivist observed, “Any country worthy of a future should be interested in its past.” This applies also to the City of Nelson where the Nelson Museum has come to epitomize Nelson and how others perceive the City. The Nelson Museum is that open window to Nelson’s past.
