British Columbia History

Reviewing our Past

At British Columbia History, we are fortunate to follow in the footsteps of the historians, editors, and writers who have come before us and have produced the publications of the British Columbia Historical Association and today’s British Columbia Historical Federation since the early 1920s.

Their work was published under three names: beginning with the publication each year of through the 1920s, then following a hiatus the for two decades, then , and beginning in 2003 . Editors over time include W.N. Sage, Donald A. Fraser, W. Kaye Lamb, Willard E. Ireland, Phillip Yandle, Kent Haworth, Patricia Roy and Terry Eastwood, Marie Elliott, Esther Birney, R.J.C. Tyrrell, Naomi Miller, Fred Braches, John Atkin, Barrie Sanford, and today’s Andrea Lister.
