MSA Museum

Christina Reid is our Collections Manager and she has been a resident of Abbotsford for close to 20 years. She has been with the museum since the fall of 2009. Christina holds a B.A. in Archaeology and a Diploma in Early Childhood Education. Her passion is archaeology and educating others about history and heritage, especially children as she has worked with young children for many years previously.

In her spare time, Christina participates in a number of international research projects, has participated in archeological digs in Sweden with the University of Stockholm and the University of Gotland and specializes in Iron Age Metrology.

Sheila has lived in Abbotsford on and off for a total of 8 years and graduated High School at W.J.Mouat Sr. Sec in 1991. She has always been interested in history and wanted to become a Paleontologist, Archeologist & Anthropologist (all at the same time) when she was a kid. Instead, she went into Fine Arts (oh well), but still nutures her love of history by participating in various "living history" & "experimental archeology" groups such as Reik Felag (a Viking Age re-creation group) & the S.C.A (a medieval & Renaissance re-creation group).

For fun, Sheila enjoys playing strange instruments such as the Anglo-Saxon Lyre & Rebec, some not so strange ones like piano and bass guitar, singing, painting, weaving, embroidery, making & editing films, scenic/art design for Theatre & Film, photography, writing, and sewing historical costumes.

Sheila is the newest member of the MSA team and is thrilled for the opportunity to work at MSA Museum, using her best skills in art/design, desktop publishing, event planning and schmoozing, and to be allowed to join the MSA crew on this exciting ride into the "future history" of Abbotsford.
