75th Jubilee Event
On June 8, 2008, the Archives hosted an event to launch The Man Who Saved Vancouver by Daphne Sleigh.
This biography of Major J. S. Matthews, Vancouver's first City Archivist, is also the first book-length biography
of a Canadian archivist ever published. Many of Matthews' descendants travelled to Vancouver to attend.
