Maybe it’s because its anniversary is fast approaching. Maybe it’s because it was far out and groovy. Or maybe cuz it’s just fun to see old photos of people wearing beads and bell bottoms. Whatever the reason, the photos of the 1971 Satsop rock festival was the winner of the August Archives Treasures poll. The festival pics gathered 42 percent of the votes to edge out the 1920 Vancouver shipyard photos, which received 38 percent. Taking third with 20 percent was the collection of Gov. Dan Evans’ letters asking members of Congress to consider amnesty for President Nixon. We’ll launch our August Library Jewels series this week, so watch for it.
