This collection features over 134 years of newspapers culled from towns large, small, and in-between from around British Columbia. Digitized by the University of British Columbia, the events covered here include logging festivals, news of new roadways, and information about international affairs. Visitors can dive right in by using the Browse By Date feature. There are over two dozen papers represented, including the Alberni Advocate, the Abbotsford Post, and the Kootenay Mail. One paper that should not be missed is the Daily Building Record (Vancouver) which was published from 1912 to 1914. It offers a fascinating set of insights and current events related to the world of architecture and city boosterism during this dynamic time in the city's history. [KMG]
