The City of Vancouver Archives has documented and preserved Vancouver's past since 1933 when the first City Archivist Major J. S. Matthews was appointed by City Council. We are a public institution administered by the City of Vancouver and the official repository of Vancouver's civic government records.

We have 7.2 million photographic images in a variety of formats; about 2.5% have been digitized.
