Columbia Basin Institute of Regional History
The CBIRH is a non-profit historical society that is dedicated to furthering the documentation and presentation of this region's history. They partner with small organizations and individuals to develop regional collections of historical material. The Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre (RMDC) is just one organization that partners with CBIRH. RMDC is loaning its photographic collection to CBIRH and they digitize it at no cost to the museum. The proceeds from the photo sales are shared between RMDC and CBIRH. This money helps the museum with operating costs while the CBIRH uses their portion of the sales proceeds to maintain the digital collection, their website, the database, and their day to day operations.
