Welcome to our new collection search portal!
We’re rolling out some exciting updates to two of our key digital spaces: our online collection search portal and our main museum website.
The new collection search is easier than ever to use, with enhanced browsing for both casual visitors and researchers, and greater access to the provincial collections.
Coming this Fall, our new museum website will feature a modern, accessible design that makes it easier to discover everything the museum has to offer.
Together, these upgrades will help unlock richer stories, wider access, and a more engaging experiences for all.
In accordance with museum policy and DRIPA, permission for use of images of Indigenous belongings must be received from the associated Indigenous family, community or Nation.
The collections include materials which contain information, language, and images that may be outdated or harmful. We acknowledge that this is a result of the long collecting history of the Royal BC Museum. We are actively researching the collections alongside communities to improve the information in our records.
