John Bovey Memorial Fund

John Alexander Bovey was British Columbia’s Provincial Archivist from 1979 to 1998.  During his distinguished archival career of over 35 years he also served as Archivist of the Northwest Territories and Provincial Archivist of Manitoba, as well as Archivist of the Diocese of Rupertsland and Archivist of the Ecclesiastical Province of Rupertsland.

This fund is dedicated, in his memory, to the advancement of research into British Columbia’s maritime communities, businesses, and industries. The goal of the fund is to document and preserve this element of the province’s economy and cultural development before it vanishes.

The Provincial Archivist and the Director of Collections, Research and Access will approve all projects supported by this fund.
