Arrow Lakes Historical Society
http://www.alhs-archives.com/index.htm

This is a volunteer-run organization. They will look things up for you in the resources that they have on the local area (Nakusp etc). They ask for a donation of $25 in return, as funding is difficult for them. I have received some information from them that was helpful.
