the modern name for the islands is haida gwaii.
they lie approx 200km north of vancouver island and (at various points) approx 60 to 120 km off shore. basically, they are just below the southern border of bc and alaska.
i attached the bc ferries route map below. ferries run from port hardy (northern tip of vancouver island) to bella coola (northern bc) and prince rupert (even more northern bc) then to haida gwaii. the ferry trip is both long and fairly expensive (~ $150 return) but it sails through some of the most beautiful coast in the world and guaranteed to be unforgetable.
from vancouver you can also drive north (inland route only of course) to either bella coola (approx 10 hours from van) or prince rupert (16 hours) and then catch the ferry from there.
flying is also an option. i think there are daily flights from both vancouver and prince rupert to haida gwaii. for example, flying from vancouver to sandspit on air canada is approx $300. there are a few different airlines and destinations from which to choose.
