Treasures of the Royal British Columbia Museum and Archives

This beautifully designed book features dramatic new photographs of the collections and exhibitions housed in western Canada’s oldest, largest and best-loved museum. It is introduced by CEO Jack Lohman, who created the book as part of a far-reaching revitalization of the Royal British Columbia Museum. Lohman also contributes an insightful essay about the importance of museum collections and supports his argument with four more specific essays from Ethnology Curator Martha Black, Botany Curator Richard Hebda, Archaeology Curator Grant Keddie and former Provincial Archivist Gary Mitchell.
