The British Columbia Folklore Society

CD-ROM: “Folklore Heritage in the Pacific Northwest.”

The British Columbia Folklore Society recently received a generous grant from The Vancouver Foundation to compile a CD-ROM of

B.C.'s Folklore and Folksong Heritage.

The concept for the CD-ROM was in response to a plea for home-grown culture to be shared with upcoming generations.

To this end material was gathered and, with the further assistance of the British Columbia Ministry of Education, a programme was drafted to freely distribute the CD-ROM to all schools in the Province.

The CD-ROM is designed to assist Grade 10 Social Studies Teachers and includes a further, interactive, educational game component. It is expected that the CD-ROM will be up and running within a couple of months.
