His collection of books for Amazon marks the culmination of 42 years of quite remarkable Independent Research and includes the Series:
Photo Albums: Labrador Wilderness; Mauritius; Nain - Nunatsiavut 1965-66; Port Hope Simpson Diaries 1969-70; Port Hope Simpson Mysteries; Illustrated Diaries of Llewelyn Pritchard M.A.; Photographs of the Labrador coastal settlements of Newfoundland, Canada; The VSO in Labrador.
For example, Llewelyn has worked with The Honourable Canadian Senator William (Bill) Rompkey, on writing the history of the Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) in Labrador.
This is what Bill wrote in his letter to the first get- together of the VSO teachers at Pateley Bridge, North Yorkshire 1-3 August 2003, "...Labrador called to you and we are calling you now. I hope you will do what you can during these few days to fill in the Labrador record with your recollections and reflections. This too will be an important contribution to Labrador history. But mainly I hope you enjoy your time together.
Llewelyn Pritchard has done a remarkable job in bringing you together. He is as shrewd as Holmes and as persistent as Poirot. He could even be a great Canadian! We owe him more than we can say. It's his event and I know it will be successful. All good wishes. Bill Rompkey"
