VANCOUVER The wildfire that destroyed the small town of Lytton, B.C., also took the town’s Chinese History Museum and the 1,600 artifacts it housed. Museum owner and director Lorna Fandrich opened the museum in 2017, and says the artifacts are irreplaceable. “It’s easy enough to build a new building, but the artifacts, those can’t be replaced because they’re actually from this community,” she said. Since the museum was fairly new, Fandrach had the capacity to digitize the collection as she built and opened it. But, that digital collection isn’t available right now, she says, because it’s housed on a server in Lytton that’s currently without power.

The Lytton Chinese History Museum, which traced the story of Chinese inhabitants in the Lytton area from 1858 to 1928, burned to the ground in the June 30 fire. “I am so saddened to say that the Lytton Chinese Museum was totally burned in the Lytton fire. The photo is taken by what used to be my son’s house and all that remains of the museum are the rock walls in the background,” reads a post to the museum’s homepage written by Lorna Fandrich who, with her husband Bernie opened the Lytton Chinese History Museum opened on May 13, 2017.
