All that’s survived is the museum’s database of 1,600 artifacts. Fandrich said photos suggest the artifacts themselves were destroyed.
“It’s all ash. I don’t think we would find anything there unless some ceramics made it through.”
“I’ve also had so many people say they would help out both physically and with money if I do restart,” she said Monday. “I’m looking at that now. I’ll decide that in the next couple of days.”

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.
