Happy Anniversary British Colonist!

Today is the 150th anniversary of the British Colonist, the precursor to the Times Colonist, which was created by Amor de Cosmos in 1858. In honor of that an archive has been created with many old issues from 1858 to 1910, all of which can be accessed (wait for it ....) for FREE. For anyone teaching BC history (I think late Socials 10) this is an invaluable resource. Also, on the Times Colonist website there is an article about the history of the paper.
Here is the link.
