Collections
As of March 1, 2025, the White Rock Museum and Archives is implementing a collecting moratorium (pause) on new object acquisitions for a period of one year. During this period, the museum will not be accepting objects for the collection. Please let us know about the objects you are considering for donation and we will follow up with you once the moratorium is lifted.
This temporary hold on artifact collecting is necessary for museum staff to inventory our current collection, to update and implement our Collections Policy, and assess current and future needs of the collection.
This moratorium only applies to museum collection objects. We still encourage the community to share and donate any archival items such as photographs, postcards, et cetera, that reflects the history of White Rock.
Please do not drop off or mail donations to the museum without consultation with staff.
The one-year moratorium will not affect visitation or scheduled programs. Museum exhibits are still open to the public from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm Tuesday to Saturday for the community and visitors.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Collections and Exhibitions Coordinator at curator@whiterockmuseum.ca or (604) 541-2250.
