Britannia Beach: B.C. Museum of Mining goes digital

Architects, designers and planners have been busy transforming the British Columbia Museum of Mining’s physical digs at Britannia Beach, and now the national historic site is jumping headfirst into the digital age.

They’ve taken historical film footage from the ’20s and ’30s, which offers a unique glimpse back in time to life at Britannia Beach and Mount Sheer (the town site), had it digitized and have posted it online on YouTube for all to enjoy.
