Join us for two days of seminars, field trips and archival exhibits that bring to vivid life the stories of Roman Catholic missionaries during the period of Victoria’s colonial settlement. Organized by the University of Victorai, the focus is on two extraordinary legacies: the “bishop’s books,” a collection of 3500 rare editions from Renaissance-era Europe brought to Victoria during the 1870s and currently housed in the University of Victoria’s Special Collections; and the Sisters of St. Ann archives at the Royal British Columbia Museum. Come hear the President of the Friends, Sophie Oliveau-Moore, speak about the legacies of the Sisters of St. Ann's in Victoria BC.
