B.C. Archives and Linda Eversole

Linda Eversole: Linda Eversole, vice-president of the Friends of the B.C. Archives, says historical police records also offer glimpses into life among segments of society that are often overlooked. , according to Times Colonist. She will be speaking Sunday at the Newcombe Auditorium, attached to the Royal B.C. Museum, in a lecture called Without Justice: Two Victorian Era Unsolved Murders. And both crimes provide great insights into the lives of ordinary Victorians of the time. Two 19th-century Victoria crimes a Jack-the-Ripper-style murder and the beating death of a saloon keeper offer historians more than tales of old-time police work. We always hear about the elites, the Dunsmuirs and people like that, because their records tend to be preserved, said Eversole in a telephone interview. But we dont hear much about the poor people or the people who have got in trouble. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
