**Saanich Archives Now Online**
 
Saanich Archives is pleased to announce that over 2,500 archival
photographs are now available online at http://saanicharchives.ca (
http://saanicharchives.ca/ ).  The digitization project was made
possible through generous funding from the Irving K. Barber Learning
Centre at UBC and the Municipality of Saanich.
 
Photographs of early pioneer life, cultural events, architecture,
farming and the growth of the community can now be searched by keyword,
subject and local area of Saanich.  The images, selected from a
collection of 15,000 photographs, slides, negatives and albums, have
rarely been viewed by the public.  They are now freely available via the
Internet.
 
Saanich Archives collects and preserves archival material relating to
the Municipality of Saanich and invites visitors to explore Saanich’s
rich history online or in person. The collection includes photographs,
maps, documents, oral histories, books and reference material from the
earliest days of the municipality to recent times.  
 
Saanich Archives is located in the Saanich Centennial Library at 3100
Tillicum Road and is open Monday to Friday, 10:00am to 2:00pm. For
further information, please call 250-475-1775 or visit our website at
