Roberts Creek History Project
The Sunshine Coast Museum is proud to have hosted the Roberts Creek History Project for three months in the spring of 2009.
The project came about through the hard work of the two coordinators, Serena Eades and Darcy Davis Case, along with many people from the community who contributed their photos, stories and artifacts. Funding for the project came through a grant from the SCRD to the Roberts Creek Community Association.
The exhibit uses text and images to tell the story of a unique community and how it has changed from the early 1900’s to the present day. Themes explored in the exhibit are centered around work, politics, food, home, recreation and creativity. These themes are universal, timeless and at the heart of ‘community’ - you don’t just have to be from Roberts Creek to enjoy this. For those of you who missed the open house at the Roberts Creek Hall last November, or who just want to see it again, the Museum will have the exhibit up until it can be moved to its permanent location in the Roberts Creek library sometime this summer.
The official unveiling of the exhibit at the Sunshine Coast Museum was on Saturday, March 7th. A large and enthusiastic group showed up to support their local museum, learn more about our diverse communities, and share stories of life on the coast both past and present.
