A collection of artifacts documenting the nearly century-long history of the Riverview Hospital and the evolution of mental health care in British Columbia is now accessible to the public through an interactive online database.

The new database makes it easy to view, search and sort the approximately 2,500 artifacts, including personal effects and clothing, arts and crafts created by patients, and institutional tools and equipment – and also allows researchers and the general public to contribute by adding information and context to the collection.

The Riverview Hospital was a mental health facility in Coquitlam, British Columbia, which operated from 1913 until 2012.

Database provides unprecedented access to Riverview Hospital artifact collection
