Welcome

Welcome to the blog of Southern Vancouver Island Girl Guides of Canada Archives! We are working to catalogue the archives, prepare them for a move, and create some heritage boxes to share with SVI units at all levels. We hope the blog will serve several purposes:

- to let SVI members know what's happening in the archives these days
- to increase awareness of and access to the resources - the archives and the team! - available to all Guiders, Trainers, girl members, potential donors and anyone interested in the history of the Area
- to highlight individual items of special interest and provide ideas for using them as programme resources/meeting activities
- to increase awareness about what archivists do, as it's a little-known career option

These pages are under construction...
