BVM

MUSEUM REGISTRAR

@ Burnaby Village Museum, Vancouver, BC

In the early 1970s, BVM acquired the contents of the Way Sang Yuen Wat Kee 滙生源活記 herbalist shop, a business that operated in Victoria’s Chinatown from approximately 1900 to 1971. I worked on this project to expand BVM’s knowledge of the herbalist shop and its historical context to improve and expand interpretation of the exhibit.
