From digitizing Council minutes to a curious fern album donated to the City of Vancouver Archives in 1938, the latest piece of scanning equipment acquired by the Archives opens the possibilities of what can be digitized. Join us in a conversation with City
of Vancouver Archives staff as they discuss the interesting technical challenges that are involved with these projects. Using a early 20th century fern album, they will speak to the considerations, challenges and work that goes on behind the scenes to make
digitized records accessible to researchers.</div>

Join us for our 98th plaque presentation celebrating the history of Larwill Park. As early as the 1880s, this historic site was known as the Cambie Street Grounds. A much-loved park, sporting field, and parade ground, it was a vibrant gathering place for public
meetings and athletic events. Baseball, cricket, and lacrosse teams played here year-round, and it served as military drill grounds during the Boer War and the two World Wars. In 1943, the park was dedicated to Al Larwill, celebrated as the “father of amateur
sports in Vancouver,” and was officially renamed Larwill Park. From the mid-1940s to 1993, the block was Vancouver’s central bus depot. Today, Larwill Park remains a landmark of community spirit and cultural heritage and is designated as the future home of
a new, purpose-built Vancouver Art Gallery.</div>
