A program for adults

Alma VanDusen Room, Lower Level
Please join award-winning map historian Derek Hayes as he presents his new volume, British Columbia: A New Historical Atlas, the story of British Columbia in maps from the 1500s to the Vancouver Olympics.
The efforts of explorers, fur traders, gold seekers, and railway builders all created maps that showed where they had gone, what they had found, and what they proposed to do - all part of the dramatic tale of forging Canadas western frontier. In British Columbia: A New Historical Atlas, Hayes brings together an unprecedented collection of these contemporary maps, most previously unpublished. Surveys, treaty maps, military maps, mining maps, promotional maps, real estate maps - even maps of murder. These maps offer a geographical visual history - a unique and fascinating view of the province's past.
