When John Fannin, the Royal BC Museum’s first curator, published his Check List of British Columbia Birds in 1891, he set in motion a publishing program that has engaged and informed British Columbians for nearly 126 years. Since that first publication, the Royal BC Museum has released hundreds of works on diverse subjects, bringing the human and natural history of our province to life in exciting, innovative and personal ways.
Featured Book
Is family defined by blood and birth? Or can we invite whomever we want into that intimate embrace? Twenty contributors from across British Columbia share their vastly different perspectives on what family means in this superb collection of personal narratives, poems and essays. They will provoke, tease, enlighten and infuriate. Isn't that what family does best?
