Seeman on century-old bottles found on campus
Royal Roads Archivist Jenny Seeman speaks with Black Press Media’s Devon Bidal about the historic find.
The bottles provide a tangible connection to our past, and the current Royal Roads campus grounds, she says.
Here’s an excerpt:
“Alongside the beer bottles, workers also found a glass soda bottle made partially by hand, a teacup and a clay inkwell. While cleaning the inkwell, Seeman came across a broken pen nib inside and joked she could just picture someone getting frustrated when their nib broke off and deciding to throw the whole thing away. It’s ‘evidence of ordinary life’ and ‘a tangible connection’ to people in the past, she said.”
