Barber Learning Centre (IKBLC) at the University of British Columbia Library have partnered to allow successful past and future British Columbia History Digitization Program (BCHDP) grant recipients the option of hosting their digitized material on Arca via the BCHDP-Arca Hosting Service.

Barber Learning Centre (IKBLC) at the University of British Columbia Library, offering vital support to prospective BC History Digitization Program (BCHDP) grant applicants seeking to bring their unique collections online.
