City of Vancouver Archives - Behind the Scenes

City of Vancouver Archives - Behind the Scenes

excerpts from my pal Rebecca Bollwitt's blog column of visiting Vancouver Archives:

I got to read from the first-ever recorded City Council Minutes for the City of Vancouver, and unravel a street banner to see what would have been hanging above Cambie during my birth year. The banner ended up featuring a Len Norris drawing — you can read about Norris in this blog post, features some of his work.

Throughout the archives it’s amazing to see the data collected over the years, from as far back as the exploration of the region. The City’s first Archivist, Major J.S. Matthews, was appointed in 1933 and throughout his lifetime he gathered hundreds of thousands of photographs and an unimaginable wealth of other information that he collected personally or that was donated by individuals or businesses over the years. You can read about Major Matthews in the book The Man Who Saved Vancouver.

Vancouver Facebook Developer Garage

Facebook, welcome to Vancouver! Vancouver Film School (VFS) has some great facilities, as you can all see, wish I could have been there. Sadly I missed out, my "2 yr old" is a bit sickly but I managed to catch it via miss604.com's blog - Rebecca Bolwitt does a great job of covering local happenings. if you are in the local tech community and have not added this RSS feed to your reader you are missing out.

If anything else, Facebook is driving development, more so I think than others that have walked this path before, Google comes to mind. This is feeling somewhat reminiscent of the pre-bubble and dot com bust nearly 10 years ago. The excitement has been revived, I just hope there is money at the end of that rainbow. If anything else Facebook applications can be a great marketing platform for the real money apps.
