Local History Kits

Our local history kits are developed to align with the BC Curriculum and contain reproductions of primary source materials on local history topics along with suggested lessons, activities, and supplementary materials. Kits can be borrowed for 1-week increments and are $15/week.

To borrow a kit contact Sarah Belley at sarah@chilliwackmuseum.ca or call 604-795-5210 x.103.
