The BC Forest Discovery Centre began working with the South Asian Studies Institute (SASI) in January 2023.
Since then, we’ve shared photographs and archival materials with them.
One of the more notable pieces, collected by our founder Gerry Wellburn, is the Mayo Lumber Company payroll ledger from 1915.
Below is SASI’s blogpost featuring one of their interns work on the ledger during her practicum placement with them.
The ledger will also become part of temporary exhibit that they are currently collaborating on with the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre, featuring Paldi’s Japanese families.
