The B.C. government has agreed to pay to the Royal B.C. Museum to properly archive 33,000 boxes of public records that have been sitting in a warehouse for up to a decade.
The move comes after B.C.'s Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham lambasted the government last summer for failing to properly take care of "acres of archives."
The boxes began piling up 11 years ago after responsibility for maintaining the B.C. Archives transferred from within government to the Royal B.C. Museum in 2003.
