Notes:
See 94.21.010. Board was used to advertise Trevor Davis' shop "The Snap Shoppe". Several other boards were giving to Alaska State Historical Library. See doc file.
In preparation for exhibit about recreation in Juneau (summer 2003) contractor June Hall took this to Gallery of the North to have a mat put over the top to help curling photo corners lay flatter. The gallery removed the photos from the original board, discarded the board, and replaced with all new materials. June was aghast when she picked it up, and they claimed that they had worked with the museum for years and knew themselves what was to be done, in spite of what June's instructions had been. They no longer had the original board and the JDCM has not done business with them since.
