Greenwood Museum Archives

Our Museum has exhibits of our early mining history, logging, forestry and Japanese displays. 

• New Displays include the Catholic Church commemorating 100 years in 2000, and a new General Store Display.

• Greenwood, BC is arguably the "Smallest City In Canada".  Having a peak population of around 3000, it is now less than 800.  Since inception on July 12th 1897, the city has never relinquished the city status and continues to function with an active city council.

Our Archives are expanding!  We have the largest Archives in the region and need more to improve and maintain our knowledge of our past.

If you have a family name and would like to have it researched for a "Boundary Connection", we will do this for a nominal fee. 

Our own Archival Research Facilities also contain past issues of the Boundary Creek Times from 1896, The Ledge, The Greenwood Times and Phoenix Pioneer and other publications on Micro Film and Micro Fiche. 

The BC Archives is also another source to search out genealogical, historical and photographic research on all of British Columbia.
