About

Walk back in time through the Capilano Forest and imagine what it was like to be a Timber Cruiser at the turn of the 20th century. This summer, visit the North Vancouver Archives and discover the tools used by early lumbermen, watch archival footage of men falling a tree and learn about the importance of protecting our forests and waterways for future generations.

North Vancouver Museum & Archives

North Vancouver is fortunate to have a rich and storied past, an engaging present and promising future. It is the role of the Museum & Archives as the 'sole custodian of the City and District cultural, archival and museum collections' to collect and preserve the artifacts, documents and photographs, that reflect the rich story. The NVMA preserves these materials and makes them meaningful and accessible to the public by organizing exhibitions, delivering educational programs, caring for collections, and providing access to archival information.

The Archives is houses in a modern purpose-built facility (the Community History Centre). A modern new Museum will be located at 115 West Esplanade, and is scheduled to open in the Fall 2020.

The nvma.ca website provides a comprehensive overview of Museum & Archives activities.
