North Vancouver is fortunate to have a rich and storied past, an engaging present and a promising future. Reflecting ancient cultures, resource-based and innovative industries, creative and energetic residents, as well as diverse communities, North Vancouver provides a rich tapestry of experiences for showcasing its story. It is the role of the Museum and Archives as the ‘sole custodian of the City and District cultural, archival and museum collections to collect and preserve the artifacts, documents and photographs, that reflect the rich story. MONOVA preserves historically valuable community records and artifacts; it makes them meaningful and accessible to the public by organizing exhibitions, delivering educational programs, caring for collections, and providing access to archival information.
