About the historic site
Haig-Brown House in Campbell River, B.C., was the home of pioneer conservationist and author Roderick Haig-Brown. Conservation of waterways and fish habitats is continued in his memory by the Haig-Brown Kingfisher Creek Society. Haig-Brown house is managed by BC Heritage Branch, and is run as a museum, seminar centre and bed and breakfast.

About the collection
The on-line collection available at the Pacific Coast Salmon Fisheries web site includes pictures and searchable database records from the Haig-Brown House collection. It includes 100 fly-fishing artifacts, many books, and other household items owned by Roderick Haig-Brown, c.1890-1940. There are also fishing artifacts and photographs from the Campbell River Museum. A selection of images from the Royal British Columbia Museum depict peoples from the Coast Salish, Interior Salish, Kwakwak'wakw, and Nuu-chah-nulth language groups (for a complete list of RBCM photographs go to the RBCM page).
About the web site
In addition to the digitized collection held at Haig-Brown House, the Pacific Coast Salmon Fisheries web site covers issues regarding fish habitats, life cycles, fishing techniques, and First Nations fish processing techniques. Issues of the Creekside News, a publication by the Haig-Brown Kingfisher Creek Society, have also been digitized here.
