Archives and museums can be an invaluable source of information for your family research. Documents, photos, records and personal family collections that have been donated are just a few of the resources available to you.

The BCGS has a list of many of the archives and museums that can be found around the province. Each facility listed has a link to their website or for further information.

Consider visiting in person if the location is near enough to you or make time for a visit next time you plan a trip. Most can be contacted for information and assistance either by email, phone or mail.

The BC Genealogical Society collects and maintains a register of our current members’ surname research interests - members can add as many surnames as they wish, along with specific locations and dates they are researching. The surnames are listed alphabetically, via PDF links, on our Index of Surnames page.

You can access the BCGS Members’ Surname Interest “Index of Surnames” using the button below.

If you see a surname you are interested in, please contact the BC Research Committee at queryrequest@bcgs.ca to obtain further information.
