Students to help burned B.C. museum

A class of 15 Simon Fraser University archaeology students is heading to Chase B.C. this weekend (Feb. 17-19) to help the rural community salvage materials from its fire-damaged museum.

The students will sift through charred and smoke-damaged files and artifacts pulled from the Chase and District Museum, which was heavily damaged by two fires last July. They’ll be applying conservation methods learned in their archaeology class.
