Sherridon, Lynn Lake, Leaf Rapids Film
The two films "BEYOND THE STEEL" and "PUSHING BACK THE FRONTIER" have now been digitized, copied to one disk, recoded and a disk label has been designed.
The movies talk about the move from Sherridon to Lynn Lake by freight haul, the Lynn Lake Mines, the Fox Mine, the Ruttan Mine, Lynn Lake, Leaf Rapids and Fort Saskatchewan. We also included some snapshots of Lynn Lake and pictures of grave stones at the Lynn Lake and Leaf Rapids cemeteries. The hard copies of the two movies had been handed down from the Eldon L. Brown family to Peter Goodwin, Peter handed the films to Del Hildebrandt to be put into the Lynn Lake Museum.
Due to break-ins into the museum at the time, and the poor condition the films were in, it was necessary to donate the hard copies to the Archives of Manitoba where the films are stored at controlled temperatures. The cost per disk copy reflects our costs.
We copy each disk individually as we expect a very limited amount of orders. Any possible profit will be used to help pay for the monthly Manitoba Hydro meter rental at the former United Church/Kinsman Hall, as we are trying to preserve this old building which dates back to 1929-30 and was moved from Sherridon during the cat train freight haul.
