Correction on articles about renovating the
Paradise Valley Church: one photograph was
in error |
June 26, 2015 |
NewsBF recently published a couple of articles
on the project to renovate and restore the White
Church building at Paradise Valley. In writing
those articles, we thought it would be great for
our readers to see how the building looked in
years past.
The Boundary County Museum was extremely helpful
in searching out and providing photographs of
the Paradise Valley Church, which we used in
both articles. One of those photographs showed a
church bell on top of the building.
Within several days of publication of those
articles, we received letters from a couple of
readers who stated they felt that one of those
old photographs, the one showing a bell on top
of the building, was not actually the Paradise
Valley Church, and was instead some other
church.
We checked with the Museum, and it was
determined that our readers were right, the
building shown with the bell was not the
Paradise Valley Church building. The other
photograph was a correct picture of the Paradise
Valley Church.
Both of our articles on the renovation project
have now been corrected, and the photographs of
the wrong building have been removed.
Our two articles (now corrected) can be seen by
following these links:

Valley Church renovation project progressing
Sue Kemmis, Museum Curator, says: "This is a
good example of our needing help identifying and
labeling photos. Let your readers know we need
volunteers to help identify and enter data into
the Museum Collection database."
NewsBF regrets this error, but we fully support
the renovation project of the Paradise Valley
Church, and the Boundary County Museum's efforts
to preserve old photographs from our area and to
formulate an accurate database of those
photographs.
