As part of an annual release of vital statistics, BC Archives on Wednesday uploaded digitized marriage registrations from 1959 and death registrations from 2004 to its searchable database.
But wait. It looks like there could soon be even more good news from British Columbia’s provincial archives. The Vital Statistics Agency is apparently working to provide birth registrations from 1904 to BC Archives.
It has been a long time since birth registrations have been made available online. For the last two decades, the most recent birth registrations have been from 1903. In 2004, the British Columbia Vital Statistics Act added an extra 20 years to the release of births, extending it to 120 years.
