	Encyclopedia: British Museum
		University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology
		A museum is typically a non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and of its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits, for purposes of study, education enjoyment, the tangible and intangible evidence of people and their environment.
		While the British Museum continues to assert that it is an appropriate custodian and has an inalienable right to its disputed artifacts under British law, opponents of the Museum continue to criticise it for theft, and what is perceived to be a cavalier attitude towards the right of other cultures to possess their own works.

	White Bears and Other Curiosities: The First 100 Years of the Royal British Columbia Museum. by Suzanne Zeller (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		This publication is a worthy celebration to mark the centenary of the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria.
		The museum's links with Emily Carr, the British Columbia artist, and W. Kaye Lamb, the future dominion archivist (94-8) are a case in point, as are the accounts of `academic skirmishing' over the proper classification of alleged specimens of caribou, polar bears, and plumed egrets found in the province (50-1, 54-7, 72-3).
		One illuminating exception was the `unilateral decision' of the provincial secretary during the Great Depression to appoint four graduates of the University of British Columbia to the museum (85).

	4/23.- Vancouver Island, the Royal British Columbia Museum tourist information - VIRTOURIST.COM
		Victoria was originally established as a fort on Vancouver Island in 1843 by the British fur-trading company, the Hudson's Bay Company.
		It was concern that British sovereignty over the area would be lost to the Americans, who were rapidly expanding westward, that led to the island becoming a Crown colony in 1849.
		The colony's struggle to remain British and its popularity as a settlement for former servants of the British Empire meant that it seemed to become "more English than England".
