Repository

The SMHP, in addition to our Collections and Archives, also houses the Archaeological Repository for the Secwépemc Nation. This repository contains belongings unearthed from digs, construction, and forestry studies across the Nation. Many of these digs and studies have provided invaluable knowledge about pre-contact lives of the Secwépemc people. We preserve, protect, and display projectile points, bone carvings, and floral and faunal samples. The repository contains numerous archaeological reports and studies spanning more than sixty years.
