White Rock Museum & Archives Society is a charitable organization based in White Rock, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under public amenities.

In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $366K in revenue and $469K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
