Research Your Home´s History – Saturday November 5 10:00am – 2:30pm
Learning how to research the history of your house can unlock many surprising secrets of its design, construction and the stories of the families that called it home. Join Burnaby historian and heritage expert Jim Wolf for a lively and informative workshop that will give you the skills and knowledge to access and use a wide-range of data and sources to reconstruct the history of your house and its place in the development of the neighbourhood and city. The workshop will help guide you to get organized and gain an understanding of all the sources of information that can be accessed both online and in the City Archives. You will be given step-by-step lessons and a check-list to complete in-depth historical research on both your Burnaby house and the basics on how to identify and find out more about the people who lived there. Included will be a session on working on selected examples, with time to discuss your own home's story and research topics. This workshop is offered in collaboration with the Community Heritage Commission.
