- Abstract
- Pertains to the commissioner report on the events carried out by the Provincial Museum of Natural history, for the year of 1921. Published in 1922, the Province of British Columbia published the report in an effort to reflect on events from the previous calendar year. The objectives of the report were to secure and preserve specimens reflecting the natural history of British Columbia, collect anthropological material from Indigenous Peoples, and obtain information on natural sciences that could subsequently be shared with the public. The reports were comprehensive in nature and covered but were not exclusive to, topics relating to the following fields of study; anthropology, zoology, entomology, ornithology, botany, paleontology and archaeology. In addition, the reports included a segment on visitors, staff changes, activities and new accessions that had taken place over the last year. Readers can expect a comprehensive report on the annual undertakings of the Provincial Museum of Natural History.
