<p><span style="color:black">Hello everyone,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The Fraser River Discovery Centre is looking for items (non-artifacts) that can be added to our education collection.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">In the Centre, we have a number of exhibits including a section on archaeology with a dig table. We also use this table in our ‘Trading Trails’ education program with visiting schools and groups. Which explores
how people have used and shared the resources of the Fraser River, with a focus on when First Nations and European fur traders first shared the river.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Currently, in the table are several items (wooden float, compass, net needle etc.). We are hoping to add more, including but not limited to shells, smoking pipe, fake fish models (ex. eulachon, salmon), carved
utensils, and other small items that would fit the general time frame of our program.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">If anyone has items they are removing from their education collections, or recommendations, please reach out to us at
<a href="mailto:programs@fraserriverdiscovery.org">programs@fraserriverdiscovery.org</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Please note, we do not have a formal collection of artifacts as such any items collected will be regularly handled and not kept in collections space with environmental controls. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
