Among other significant artifacts, their collection includes large hand-carved rosaries worn by the Sisters, liturgical objects used during mass, vintage textiles, and historic letters.
The donated archives date from the 1880s and include thousands of documents that serve as historical sources about the early development of BC and Victoria.
