Biografie
Thomas Laurie and Mildred Laurie were a married couple who managed the B.C. Packers general store in Alert Bay for many years. Their daughters Leslie and Cathie attended the first local integrated school there in the 1950s, and their son Tom was born in Alert Bay in 1962. After leaving Alert Bay in 1964 the family moved to Powell River, where Thomas and Mildred ran the Columbia Store, and then to Ocean Falls, where they managed the mill store. The Lauries later relocated to Kitimat and then to Prince George, where they ran a motel for 22 years.

Conservation
Photographs were removed from a magnetic photo album for preservation purposes, as the acidic pages and adhesives were causing the photographs to deteriorate. Each page of the album was photocopied before the photographs were removed so as to preserve contextual information and descriptive metadata written on the pages.
