British Columbia History

Snapshot: A century ago in BC

To mark the BC Historical Federation’s 100th year, ten archivists from around the province offered a favourite photograph from their collections, taken around 1922.

Emily Lonie began her career as a government records archivist at Library and Archives Canada. In 2013, she established the City of Coquitlam Archives and served as city archivist until July, 2021. Emily is now the executive director of the Vancouver Heritage Foundation.
