Through transcribed letters, curated historical insights, behind-the-scenes stories from the archives, and thoughtful recommendations, the site brings local history to life—one document at a time.

All other sources will be noted when applicable. Transcriptions are faithful to the originals, with minimal editing for readability when needed.

As a historian I write on topics of personal and local interest. I love being able to explore and research archival documents that have not yet had a chance to be researched yet. It’s very exciting for me.

I also enjoy travelling around British Columbia and learning more about our history so that I can share it with my family.

Absolutely. I am the most interested in letter collections and diaries as it helps me to connect the best with the individuals and their time periods. I love to get inside their heads and imagine their daily lives.
