ABOUT THE ARCHIVE

Preserving Pinewood Pals

The Pinewood Pals Archive is an independent collection dedicated to documenting and preserving the history of Pinewood Pals and its years on WSTV-8.

The project focuses on surviving photographs, recordings, production material, documents, and personal recollections connected to the program.

The archive was established in 2026 after an interest in local television history led its founders to begin collecting material related to Pinewood Pals.


THE IDEA

Pinewood Pals was a local children's television program broadcast from Rosewood, Oregon during the 1980s.

Like many local programs of its era, much of its history was never widely documented outside of newspaper listings, home recordings, promotional photographs, and material kept by the people who worked on or watched the program.

The goal of this archive is to bring those pieces together in one place and preserve them for future reference.

FROM THE FOUNDERS
"We started the archive because there was surprisingly little information left about Pinewood Pals. We wanted to see what was still out there."
— Bentley B., Archive Co-Founder
"At first, we thought we'd just find a few pictures and old recordings. Then we started finding more."
— Kennedy G., Archive Co-Founder
"Every piece of material tells us something about the show. Even the things that don't seem important at first."
— Bentley B.
"If someone remembers Pinewood Pals, there's a chance they remember something we don't have yet."
— Kennedy G.

PURPOSE OF THE ARCHIVE

The Pinewood Pals Archive exists to preserve material that might otherwise disappear.

Whenever possible, photographs and documents are catalogued with their approximate date, source, format, and known history.

Information may be updated as additional material is discovered or previously unidentified records are properly documented.
