About MemoryBC.ca

MemoryBC.ca is managed by the Archives Association of British Columbia, http://aabc.ca. MemoryBC.ca used to be known as 'BCAUL'. In 2009, AABC migrated the BCAUL database to AtoM software, and renamed the site, MemoryBC.ca.

Archival repositories preserve records, papers, photographs, and lots of other types of historical information created by people and organizations over time. Some of these materials are available to the public to access, research and enjoy.

The MemoryBC.ca portal provides a searchable database of some of the materials available at nearly 200 archival repositories in the province of British Columbia, in Canada. Institutional Members of the AABC get to use MemoryBC for free, and many of our members put descriptions of their materials and those who created them on MemoryBC.

Use this site to find archival holdings that may be of interest to you, whether for serious research ,or simply to take a glimpse into our province's fascinating and exciting past.
