Research

The Okanagan Historical Society collaborates with a variety of historical organizations, museums and archives in their ongoing activities. Below are links to resources for the study of Okanagan history. Each link will open in a separate browser tab. These links are to external websites which are not maintained by the OHS; the Okanagan Historical Society is not responsible for their content.

Of special interest to members of our society will be the B.C. Regional Digitized History website - BCRDH. This site was developed in 2018 by UBC Okanagan Library in partnership with institutions in the Okanagan and Kootenay regions of British Columbia. It includes digitized copies of photographs, maps, newspapers, books and textual records from the archival collections of museums, organizations and institutions. The site is easily searchable and includes a Toolkit. Of particular interest to our members are the digitized copies of past issues of the Okanagan Historical Society reports.
