    Biographical history

    The Quesnel Branch of the Cariboo Historical Society was active between 1951 and ca. 1961 and, again, between ca. 1976 and 1981. The society was instrumental in the establishment of the Quesnel and District Museum in 1963 and supported the operations of the museum. According to its constitution, the society was formed to acquire and preserve information on the early history of the Cariboo.
