The Sisters of St. Ann archives are located on the grounds of the Royal B.C. Museum. Their records have not been made available to the public. The archives are locked and have their own self-contained office space. They are preserved and managed by the religious order. This month, following the discovery of 215 unmarked graves at the Kamloops Indian Residential School, B.C.’s First Nations Leadership Council wrote to Premier John Horgan demanding access to the archives. It’s believed the historical records could help to identify the children and locate the remains of other Indigenous children who never returned home.
