Discover Forgotten Stories of British Columbia
Hi, I’m Jodie. I partner with museums and archives across British Columbia to uncover forgotten stories hidden in handwritten letters, photographs, and archival collections. I spend my time transcribing old letters and diaries, turns out I am really good at deciphering old handwriting. You can usually find me looking through old newspapers, census and immigration records to bring these stories to life.
My Agassiz series from the press release are located here.
