摘要

The British Columbia Geological Survey Branch reached a centenary of continuous service in 1995 following fitful earlier ventures reaching back to colonial days. As mineral resources were a principal spur to the political developments from colony to province, perhaps it is surprising that a geological survey was not started sooner. Beginning in 1895 the Survey developed in five stages from a Provincial Mineralogist and his staff of five, forming the Bureau of Mines, to the significant organization of the 1990s. In 1917 six resident engineers and geologists based in various localities throughout the province were grouped to form the semi-independent Mineral Survey. In the mid-1930s the Bureau of Mines and the Mineral Survey were combined to form the Mineralogical Branch, a resource-oriented geological survey centralized in Victoria. This in turn, in the mid-1960s, added a resource appraisal function and became known as the Geological Division. Finally it became the Geological Survey Branch of today with a broad mandate in 1:50,000-scale mapping as well as many non-mineral functions.
