of Port Moody residents, former residents and people with a knowledge of the city. The project stalled for a number of years until 1999, when two museum staff members resurrected the project. The interviews were recorded initially on tape and converted in the summer of 2004 to compact disc; all new recordings are digital and preserved on compact disc. The collection is accessible only by CD, though museum volunteers are working to transcribe tapes. Postcard barrel In the summer of 2005, the Port Moody Station Museum established the world's third postcard barrel (after Floreana Island in the Galápagos Islands and Crete in Greece). The concept is based on a tradition in the Galápagos, in which British whalers set up a post office barrel in 1793 on Floreana Island for passing ships to leave their unstamped mail for hand-delivery by others on their voyage home. Using a dustbane barrel, the Museum's barrel is located in the former telegraph room of the train station and visitors can pick up postcards to hand-deliver or deposit their own, either by visiting the museum in person or by mailing them to the Port Moody Station Museum, where staff members stamp them with the official postcard barrel stamp and deposit it into the barrel.
