Tap the past via museum website

This 1944 photograph that includes my Uncle Duane Berentson (left) is one of more than 10,000 Anacortes history photos now available online via the City of Anacortes website. The Anacortes Museum has just launched its redesigned website, now linked to a searchable database of more than 18,000 Anacortes Museum records. This new online system will allow students, historians, and everyone else to browse and search the photographs and artifacts in the Anacortes Museum’s collections from their home, office or iPhone. This photo from the Wallie V. Funk Collection was printed from a negative. It includes several students from the Boys’ Little A group, made up of lettermen in junior high. From left to right are Duane Berentson, Johnny Jurkovich, Don Graham, Gene Lundgaard and Floyd Hill. This group of athletes would enjoy some exciting times in their AHS years, including a couple of state tournaments in basketball.

About Photographer Steve Berentson

A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
