Since its inception in 2012, Transcribimus received contributions towards the work of transcribing the minutes of early Vancouver City Council meetings. 

Donations of labour, technical advice and cash donations have made it possible to provide free public access to thousands of photographs and close to 600 minutes transcribed and produced thus far.

Thank you to our existing sponsors; to name a few, The Oppenheimer Group, Shirley Barnett, Bill Boultbee, Arnold Silber, Kip Woodward and the Woodward family, Bruno Wall, and RBS Lawyers, who have generously sponsored Transcribimus ongoing efforts.

Sponsorship opportunities

We invite you to consider sponsoring one year of Vancouver’s history; perhaps in honour of an ancestor, current family member or to celebr#ate a major event. Your name (and the name of the person you are sponsoring in honour of) would appear at the top of every document for the year and go into the permanent record. 

Get in touch with our Sponsorship Lead for more information.
