Excavating Royal Jubilee Hospital
In 1991, construction at Royal Jubilee Hospital uncovered a rubbish heap from when the hospital first opened in the 1890s. A team of archaeologists volunteered to excavate the artifacts, and the collections came to the Royal BC Museum archaeological repository. The artifacts are a critical record of early healthcare and community in Western Canada.![Excavating Royal Jubilee Hospital](https://learning.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Screen-Shot-2017-02-20-at-1.50.56-PM-480x360.png)
