A new B.C. electronic resource that involves support from the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre has launched.

The British Colonist Digitization project is a joint venture with the Victoria Times Colonist newspaper and the University of Victoria Library, with support from other organizations including the Learning Centre. The project involves the digitization of issues of the British Colonist newspaper (a precursor to the Times Colonist).

Articles on the project are featured in the Victoria Times Colonist and the Globe and Mail. You can view the articles here:
