Electrical Heritage Society of British Columbia

A founding committee was formed to establish terms of reference with the aim of preserving the electrical heritage of the province. A name was chosen and a Constitution and Bylaws were drafted. Under the sponsorship of the Electrical Contractors Association of BC, an application was made to register with the provincial government under the Societies Act, and in January 1999 the Electrical Heritage Society of British Columbia was officially born.

In Search of the Past

An interesting array of electrical memorabilia has been collected thus far, but it is believed that there are many more items out there. If you own or are aware of any electrical items that have an apparent age of twenty-five years or older, the Electrical Heritage Society would like to know about them and will assist in their collection, cleaning and preservation. With you help, it is hoped that eventually the collection will encompass the earliest and rarest electrical artifacts in the province.

Keeping Track

The Society works hard to document the background of each item in its collection. When, where, how, and by whom each artifact was used is vital in establishing its historical value.

Home Office and Display

Home office of the EHSBC is the Electrical Contractors Association of BC (ECABC). Many of the artifact collected so far by the Society are stored at Elworthy Electrical Services. A permanent display of some of the items in the collection is located in the School of Electrical and Electronic Technology at the British Columbia Institute of Technology, 3700 Willingdon, Avenue, Burnaby, BC
