For more than 130 years, the Royal British Columbia Museum and Archives has preserved and presented the province. From the glass cases of 1886 to the always-on digital archives of the present day, The Collectors tells the story of the museum and archives, a story of continuity and change, of quirks and curiosities, and of the fascinating characters and enduring themes that have shaped one of British Columbia's most distinguished institutions.
Tess is six and she loves jelly beans, and believes that you can do just about anything with them. Count them, sort them by colours, play noughts and crosses with them, make different shapes with them and of course eat them. She loves all the colours, except the black ones. When a huge jar of jelly beans turns up one day, Tess is delighted, but Mum has placed them on top of the fridge out of Tess's reach and Tess has been told that she is not allowed to have any until after dinner. Not happy with this idea, Tess does just about anything she can to get a hold of them, but each time she gets closer Mum catches her and Tess must abandon her attempts. With Mum now out of the room Tess decides she has to have one more try when she realises that the jelly beans have now gone missing, she is not happy and must now hunt them down. Where did the jelly beans go? Who stole them? What will Mum say? "Mum," calls Tess, "someone stole the jelly beans."
