Publisher's Synopsis
A photo album of historical photographs [116] with original captions taken in and around Nain - Nunatsiavut, Labrador, Newfoundland, Canada from 1965-66. It paints a portrait of how the challenges to do with transportation [ice break-up, mail boat, mail plane, ] as well as the Voluntary Service Overseas VSO teachers' air transfer to their coastal settlements were both overcome and includes a selection of people and photographs of the Grenfell mission. They make an important contribution to the cultural, educational and natural history of the period and depict the rich tapestry of life in and around Nain at the time. Each photo album in the series focusses on different aspects of the community's way of life. [Cover Photograph: Mrs Kojak on the Nain wharf May 1966; Photographs courtesy of John Penny an 18 year old Voluntary Service Overseas teacher from the UK who lived and worked in the local community.]
