Prince Rupert BC
Please Note-
I have these Prince Rupert Historical Picture Pages online
to promote the great History of this area,
NOT to compete with any Local History Group.
I encourage everyone that goes to Prince Rupert,
to visit the PR Archives and Museum there,
as well as the Fire Dept. Museum,
Prince Rupert Museum, and North Pacific Cannery Museum.
I do NOT promote the Businesses of today,
only the past great history.
My pages are to get you interested,
The Local Historical Groups will take care of the rest.
If you can't visit San Francisco, then visit Rupert.
to me it is a close second.

Use my info as a clue to do your own research.
I am not related to these folks, nor do I have hidden info.
I encourage everyone to visit their local Museum,
or buy a local history book for more info.
I attempt to connect people with their ancestor in these places.
If it works on just one person, per page, it is worth the time it
takes me.

Ext Links

as I do not control these web sites.
I encourage everyone to visit
the Prince Rupert Archives for more Local History
http://www.princerupertarchives.ca/
Also a trip to the Museums there,
would be in order, and recommended.
My information is to augment what they do, not
replace it.
See Duplicates online?
Note- You will see some of the same pictures,
on other Archive / Museum sites online.
(Without my Watermarks, and Copyright Information obviously.)
Reason- Most of these photos were commercial postcards,
and multi copies were made and sold.
All have different writing on the back is the difference.
I don't include all the backs to save bandwidth, but have them in my data.
My site is NOT intended to be a photo sharing site.

No I didn't take information from this, or any other Rupert book

Again, I am not affiliated in any way with the City of Prince
Rupert
or any of the present day business's located there.
I also encourage a visit to the BC Archives
http://royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/bcarchives/
They also have lots of Pictures, Postcards, and other documents
pertinent to Prince Rupert and area.
Again, I do NOT use their photos.
and last, but not least
Canada Library and Archives
http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/pages/home.aspx
I have used a couple of their photos here and there,
with proper sources underneath.
I only use one of their photos if none other available elsewhere.
Note- they now have the Canada Census
on their site which is a great resource.
Plus some Ship lists now. Getting better and better all the
time.
