- 1865-1937
Series consists of selected coroners' inquisitions (inquests) for 1865-1937. Records were chosen by BC Archives staff for retention in their original paper format for historical purposes. Most, if not all, records can be found on microfilm in GR-1327 and GR-1328. Inquisitions are investigations in which a coroners’ jury rules on the cause of death. Inquisition files often contain witness statements, transcripts, autopsy reports, and findings.
