The Bowen Island Museum & Archives Society was incorporated in 1969 as a non-profit society with charitable status. The mandate of the Society is to collect and preserve records and objects of scientific, educational, historical, and cultural value associated with Bowen Island and to make such materials available to the public.
The policies and operations of the Museum & Archives are overseen by an elected Board of Directors. Services are provided by our part-time archivist and curator assistant managers, assisted by a team of volunteers and summer students preparing for careers in fields related to history and culture.
The Bowen Island Museum and Archives is a not-for-profit organization, which is dependent on the generosity of individuals, community organizations, government, and granting agencies to help us to preserve, exhibit and share the cultural heritage of Bowen Island.
