Published purpose
In 2023 the Fernie and District Historical Society was given control over the local archives of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company and its many subsidiaries. These archives, previously inaccessible to the public and stored in the basement of Fernie City Hall , include over 700 maps of Elk Valley townsites, underground mines and railways, as well as over 20 m of documents including land transfers, lease agreements, correspondence, and CNPCC employment and injury records. The Society's objective is to transfer, clean, and rehouse these documents in our archival storage space, and digitize them for addition to our online database.
