The Société Historique Francophone de la Columbie-Britannique (SHFCB) has conducted onsite research in the Cariboo and the Okanagan on the history of Francophones who launched ranches in those regions in the 1860s-70s, holding oral history interviews with their descendants, and creating from the results a bilingual digital exhibition.
