A Note on Sources In the 1960s the Westlock Old Timers Society created a series of one-of-a-kind binders of photographs and anecdotes to illustrate the history of the region. These have been available for viewing at the library for years, and are now in the archive section of the Westlock & District Museum.The photographs within are usually provided with short captions, but dates are rare, identities in the photographs occasional, and attribution of the source or creator scant. The text is occasionally attributed.These bound records are The Westlock Story 1913-1963 and The Good Old Days 1867 ¬ 1967. 80 Years of Progress was the Westlock History Book Committee publication provided further confirmation.
