CFB Esquimalt Naval and Military Museum staff can assist with research enquiries and access to our archives. The museum is a good resource for original images of Royal Canadian Navy ships, personnel and buildings. Over 17,000 photos from our collection have been scanned into the museum’s photo database to date. That number continues to grow as we work towards our goal of having the entire collection available in electronic format for easy search and reference.
Our
Our archives also offer access to thousands of documents, including histories of Canadian naval vessels, ship plans, biographies of important leaders in the Royal Canadian Navy, and copies of the Navy List, Crow’s Nest magazines and other useful publications that serve to document the navy’s history and development.
