The 3 by 4 inch negatives found in the small album included pictures of Camas mill machinery, employees, events honoring servicemen returning from World War II, and other subjects including a women's bowling league team. "The problem is, not many people are living here now who recognize these former mill workers and their families," said Barb Baldus, organizer of an upcoming event celebrating local history. Downtown Camas Association officials are hoping to learn more about the people in the photographs.

Crown Zellerbach paper mill workers wait to start their shift sometime during the 1940s.

It became Crown Zellerbach following a merger in 1928, which it remained for 60 years.

History Mystery

Camas has a history mystery on its hands. In 2013, a Georgia-Pacific paper mill engineer was cleaning out his desk in preparation to move to a new office, when he reached his hand deep into a drawer and accidently discovered what appeared to be a small black book. Printed on its spine in gold colored lettering was "Kodak negative album," and inside were approximately 100, 3 by 4 inch negatives along with a log detailing the month and day the photos were taken.
