Frank Neumann joined the Salt Spring Archives in 2000, after he moved to Salt Spring, from Saturna Island, his home for thirty years. Frank has a long history with computers and education. He became Saturna Island School's computer coordinator when the school acquired their first computer and he continued in this position until moving to Salt Spring. Frank was a computer buff since his school days and he began to build websites in the early days of the Internet. While on Saturna, Frank began a project for their archives, scanning many historical images.

Soon after moving to Salt Spring Island Frank looked at the Salt Spring Volunteers website and discovered an advertisement for a computer teacher at the Archives. He answered the ad and immediately saw a need for more than teaching basic computer skills. Frank immediately plunged into the work.

Since that day Frank has spent many happy hours designing and building the Archives website, scanning hundreds of thousands of pictures, slides, negatives, newspapers and more. The website has become notable in the Province for it’s scope, and it continues to grow. Frank is enjoying learning more and more of what turns out to be a fascinating island history. He claims his job will be over when history is complete.
