The Slumach Papers (including books and DVDs) collected over the last few years will now be part of the holdings of Special Collections of the Vancouver Public Library. The photograph shows Assistant Manager Kate Russell and Fred Braches at the loading dock of the VPL where the records were delivered this morning. In the near future all these records will be accessible there to anyone researching Slumach and that elusive Eldorado. Of course, transcripts of almost everything in the collection remain available on <slumach.ca>
Nature does not need a ghost to guard a mine.
In 1891,in New Westminster BC, an elderly Native man was hanged for murder. Today, legends of epic proportions link him with rich gold findings in the mountains around Pitt Lake and multiple killings. What do we really know about this man and where did the legends come from?
Award Winning Web site
The Slumach site received the Web site Award for 2008 from the British Columbia Historical Federation and David Mattison
Memorable quotations
A gold mine is a hole in the ground with a liar on top.
Gold makes a fool of us all the time. Nature does not need a ghost to guard a mine.
Gold is where you find it.
