A band of westerners seek more infrastructure investment, better access to global trade, even independence. Albertans in 2026? No, Vancouver Islanders in the 1930s! Check out my 2013 article in @canadashistory.bsky.social for referendum prehistory. #cdnhist #bchist #cdnpoli

We’re at $535 of our $5k goal. Hoping to make it to $1k (the cost of exhibit install) by the end of the month. Please share! #cdnhist #bcHist @bcma.bsky.social

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and a good day to reflect on the ways that colonization continues to impact Indigenous peoples. Take a moment to learn about the great land grab, and what it means for life on Vancouver Island #VILandGrab #cdnHist #bcHist youtu.be/xJ7P0rP95d8

In this interview now up on our YouTube channel, Professor Brian Thom from the University of Victoria introduces us to the historic E&N Railway land grant, what it means for today, and how maps and ideas of property can inform our understanding of the #VILandGrab.

Mid-career moments: realizing that my 1st scholarly article appeared 20 yrs ago. Research began even earlier, when I was still using steno pads for notes! There are some things I would change, but I think it's held up. Be the judge yourself (it's free-2-read): tinyurl.com/yc4dr5pr
