Description:

This project will ensure the preservation and accessibility of records added to the Stó:lo Library and Archives - thereby increasing access to, and awareness of, the history of the Stó:lo Nation, an organization of Stó:lo communities which has its roots in several forerunner organizations focused on Stó:lo governance and rights and title, including participation in the modern treaty process, dating back to the 1970s.
