THANK YOU

Contributions to For Our Time

A COVID-19 Collecting Project

“Love always wins”

During the COVID-19 pandemic we have been humbled and encouraged by the outpouring of contributions from people like you to our documentation project, For Our Time.

A year ago, when we asked British Columbians to tell us their COVID-19 stories, remarkable people from around the province stepped forward. Through online submissions, For Our Time has developed into a rich repository of pandemic experiences including photographs, music, art, personal accounts and offers of objects. Donors represent all age groups and many locations throughout the province.

We thank you for helping us to document these historic times. British Columbia’s experience of this pandemic is a legacy worth preserving, and with your help, museums around the province are accomplishing this goal. We will continue to provide you with the opportunity to contribute to the project, and, when it’s safe to do so, to help us collect the material culture of the pandemic. W orking from home has become synonymous with the pandemic for many in British Columbia. The volunteers at the Royal BC Museum are no exception; many have continued their work for the museum remotely, in some cases taking on new jobs and tasks.

Liz Keay has been enriching the botany catalogue by transcribing specimen sheets like this one.
