For the first time, everything you always wanted to know about BC is gathered together in one place!

The Encyclopedia of British Columbia is the definitive reference work on BC. With more than 4,000 entries and hundreds of photos, maps, tables and charts, the EBC is the source of readable and authoritative information on all the significant BC people, places and things that you would currently have to search a vast library to find.

What makes the EBC even better is the wealth of special local information and BC lore—all those details that make BC the weird and wonderful place it is.

The EBC was conceived and compiled by Harbour Publishing, an award-winning, independent, 100% BC-owned company, with advice and assistance from more than 200 British Columbians. It is indispensable at home, at school, in the office—everywhere comprehensive, authoritative, concise information about BC is needed.

The Encyclopedia of BC was published in September 2000, in a full-colour 824-page print edition and companion CD-ROM. The on-line edition was launched in 2001.
