Biographical history
Pacific Coast Terminals Co. Ltd. devolved from the Fraser River Dock & Storage Co. of New Westminster, British Columbia, created by C. E. Lambson in 1924. Pacific Coast Terminals Co. Ltd. was incorporated in 1928 and all shares from the Fraser River Dock & Storage Co. were transferred to Pacific Coast Terminals Co. Ltd at that time. With the support of the City of New Westminster, an application was made to the Dominion Government for permission to enlarge port facilities and erect a storage plant in New Westminster along the Fraser River at the foot of 10th Street. The Dominion Government approved the application in 1929 and provided financial assistance to build the new Pacific Coast Terminals Co. Ltd. The directors of the new company were J.G. Turgeon (Vice-President), A.C. Flumerfelt (President), and Valentine Quinn, (Vice-President and Managing Director).
Custodial history
The records of the Pacific Coast Terminals Co. Ltd. were transferred to the New Westminster Library in 1981 by W. W. Brown, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Pacific Coast Terminals Co. Ltd. at the time. The records, along with some artifacts, were subsequently transferred to the New Westminster Archives and Museum.
