Before digital cameras, we had film. And before we had film, we had these!
These Wingrove family photos have all been digitized from glass plate negatives and date from ~1890s - 1910s. Notice a pattern? Looks like you weren't the first to take pics with your pets here in PoCo!
You might have heard– we recently finished photographing every object in the collection!
Well, now we're working to bring these objects to you at home. Last week our volunteer Queena was transcribing artefacts from the Kwong On Wo charcoal burners which operated into the 1920s!
Have you tried our 2 new limited releases? ⠀

Our Dark Cherry Porter and Earl Grey Stout are available on tap or in cans to go! ⠀

Which one is your favourite? ⠀
