In this group project students will choose a potential historical building and complete research about the building. Based on the information you collect, you will decide whether you think the building could be designated as a historical site. Contact a historical society and see if they have any information about potential historical sites. Complete research at your local library, archives or museum.
All local museums have a community archive.
The British Columbia Archival Resources provides links to other archival resources in British Columbia. Take out local history books from the library. Ask an elderly member of the community where the oldest buildings were located and who built them. Look up the newspaper headlines for the dates when the building was built or opened, and see how the event was reported and celebrated in the community. The Heritage Branch of British Columbia has information on historic buildings and sites.
