Prior to 2012, public access to Vancouver City Council minutes was limited. In 2012 Transcribimus was formed and its volunteers began to photograph and transcribe the original minutes* for free public access.
Transcribimus volunteers and sponsors carry on the work of bringing Vancouver’s handwritten history to the public.
*until mid-1911, Vancouver City Council minutes were solely hand scribed.
