Located in beautiful Hycroft Manor, VHF’s Evening Lectures offer illustrated talks that look at the history of Vancouver, covering the events, movements and people that shaped our city. Hosted by Vancouver Heritage Foundation and the Hycroft Heritage Preservation Foundation.

Vancouver’s first City Archivist, Major James Skitt Matthews, was more than a collector and self-styled historian; he was deeply fascinated by stories big and small about Vancouver. A great deal of Vancouver’s history was captured in his correspondence, subject files and photograph collection. Vancouver’s current City Archivist, Heather Gordon, will illuminate the life and importance of this Vancouver figure.
