Genealogists searching the 'net for information now have a new source, thanks to the city of New Westminster.
Last month, the New West Museum and Archives launched its online database, allowing the public to look through documents, photographs and other material - much of which has information about the history of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody.
The NWMA holds both official city records, which date back to 1860, and community records created by the Royal Engineers, societies, families and individuals. To visit, type in archives.newwestcity.ca.
