History
In 1987 and 1988, the University of British Columbia students in Diane Newell's History 303 course ("The Canadian West") conducted a series of oral interviews with former Britannia Beach residents. The interviews were designed to provide students with a first-hand understanding of life in a mining community; this project was conducted in cooperation with the British Columbia Mining Museum. As a result, this collection provides valuable insights into the history of the Britannia Mining and Smelting Company and its impact on the community.
