About Us
The Whistler Museum & Archives was founded in 1986 as a non-profit organization for the purpose of collecting, cataloguing and conserving artifacts and photographs of the pioneer history of the Whistler Valley. The Museum has since expanded to include information on the Resort Development and Natural History of the entire Whistler region.

Vision
To become one of the leading institutions in the collection, preservation, documentation, and interpretation of mountain life.

Mandate
The mandate of the Whistler Museum is to collect, preserve, document, and interpret mountain life for the benefit and enrichment of the public. The natural and human history, community events, and 2010 Winter Olympic Legacy of the Whistler Valley region are the primary focus for all collecting, research, and programming activities. As a cultural centre and forum for learning, the Whistler Museum develops innovative exhibitions, educational programs, and multimedia projects to enhance Whistler’s world-class reputation in the international mountain community.
