about

Who we are:

The FHABC is a community united by our interest in, and love for forest history. We enjoy learning from each other via our vibrant newsletter, social media channels, occasional publications and databases and bibliographies.

Together we cooperate with libraries, museums and archives to collect, describe, conserve,digitise, curate and communicate. In this way, we cultivate enthusiasm for our shared forested pasts."

Please help the Forest History Association of BC raise funds to digitize forest industry oral-histories on cassette tapes, presently stored at UBC in the Rare Books and Special Collections.

These oral history interviews with people involved in BC’s forest industry were undertaken twenty years ago by the now 98-year-old FHABCmember Gerry Burch.

Once digitized, we edit these long interviews down to shorter “best-of” tracks to enjoy them in online “listening parties” with our members. Our first such event was held on Sept 26th, with a recording of retired Forester Bruce Devitt.

To find out more, follow us on Facebook:

With your help, we hope to raise $1000 to digitize 40 more tapes.
Thank you for your support, and we hope to see you at the next listening party! If you’re interested in volunteering time instead of money please JOIN US! We always welcome new subscribing
