Terrace and Region Archives was formed in the spring of 1999. We hope to help preserve the local history by collecting stories and pictures from our pioneers and also other collections of pictures which people have that they are willing to share. 

The Terrace Public Library offered us the use of their computers which had been donated by Hewlett Packard-Bell for community use. We started this website in order for the general public to be able to view these stories and pictures. 

We dedicate this website to the early settlers of our valley, both men and women who came from every corner of the globe.

They were all an honest lot, who came and accepted hardship and struggle for a life in this wilderness. Now we honour these pioneer people, for opening up our Skeena Valley. These stories are told of a few who came to settle here in the Valley and the many others who have been forgotten. We pay a tribute to all of them for their many hours of hard work and struggle; their dedication to clear the way for the rest of us now to enjoy today. 

Our group at present consists of:
