*B.C. History Comes Alive Online*

Heritage Branch has launched the Provincial Heritage Artifacts Database, a
web app that will provide world-wide access to the artifact collections of
the Provincial Heritage Properties. This is the first time that the
collections of multiple heritage museums across B.C. have been brought
together online in one searchable web app.

The web app provides online access to information about over 70,000
artifacts and structures at Provincial Heritage Properties across B.C.
including photographs, object descriptions and history of use as well as
information about original owners, publishers, creators, and manufacturers,
etc. The launch supports the B.C. Government’s priority to provide public
access to information in an increasingly technology driven world.

Heritage professionals are excited to see the release of this new online
tool.  “The Provincial Heritage Artifacts Database is a much needed and
welcome resource that will make the collections of these heritage
properties accessible to people across British Columbia and the world” says
Kelly Black, Executive Director of the Point Ellice House Museum and
Gardens. “The database will connect communities and generate new
conversations around British Columbia's past, present, and future."

The web app features Provincial Heritage Properties such as Emily Carr
House, Craigflower Manor, Craigflower Schoolhouse, The Grist Mill at
Keremeos, Cottonwood House, Kilby General Store Museum, Historic Yale,
Point Ellice House, Historic Hat Creek and Fort Steele. Barkerville will be
added early 2020.
