Can I share my story about the history of the Riverview Hospital with someone?
  • When someone donates records to the City of Coquitlam Archives, the archivists collect information about those items and the history of the donors. If you have historical documents or photographs you would like to donate, or have information about items the Archives already has in its collection, you can contact the Archives. Information about contacting Archives staff and making a donation can be found on the City of Coquitlam Archives page.  
  • Coquitlam Heritage collects oral histories about Coquitlam (audio and/or visual recordings of story donors telling their stories), including information about Riverview Hospital and səmiq̓wəʔelə. It also collects stories about artifacts and documents it collects, and items in its collection. You can contact them if you have a story you'd like recorded, items to donate, or information about an item in their collection. Visit Coquitlam Heritage for contact information.
  • The City of Coquitlam is currently documenting offers to share information about artifacts in the collection for follow up in the future. If you have information or a story to share about an item that is part of the Riverview Hospital Artifact Collection, please complete the online form.
