Heritage Vancouver Society invites you to our 125th Anniversary Celebration, the launch of our interactive Vancouver Building Permit Database. The database will unlock the secrets of many thousands of Vancouver's historic buildings dating from 1901 to 1920, and make this information publicly accessible. This exciting project will bring Vancouver's history alive for the citizens of the city and will be a permanent legacy of invaluable historical information.

For more information on the transcription, project and the database, see: www.heritagevancouver.org/database.html

Join us at the City of Vancouver Archives for this dynamic “go live event” and search your favourite historic building on the database. Vancouver historian Maurice Guibord will illustrate the usefulness of the database in his talk on “the ethnically diverse nature of early Vancouver”. 

We are featuring ten historic homes from a cross section of Vancouver’s early neighbourhoods with original homeowners from the diverse countries that made up early Vancouver. There is free Wi-Fi at the Archives and you are encouraged to bring an electronic device to search the database.

We would like to thank the City of Vancouver for the 125th grant and all others who have contributed to the development of the Database over the past 17 years. We would also like to thank the City of Vancouver Archives, our Partner in the project for hosting the event.
