March 17, 2009 The Northern BC Archives at the Geoffrey R. Weller Library at
UNBC has recently completed digitization of over 1700
historical images of exploration in Northern British Columbia in the
early 20th century. These images from 8 distinct collections feature
visual documentation of diverse subjects including that of early town
site development of Fort Fraser, Hazelton. Fort George and Prince
Rupert; Grand Trunk Pacific Railway construction; big game hunting
expeditions in the Peace River region; natural history expeditions, and
commercial and economic exploratory activity within several Northern BC
communities c.1900-c.1939.
These images are now available on the Archives on-line database.
Funding assistance for this digital initiative was received from the BC
History Digitization Program, which is funded by the Irving K. Barber
Learning Centre at the University of British Columbia.
