As a community, we are more purposefully looking at our history. Here in Burnaby, history did not begin with the first white settlers. Well before the late 1800s, when Europeans started settling here, from time immemorial, this land was home to others. What do you know about them? Looking for a place to start? Burnaby Village Museum has done some research for you:
Others have come and settled here as well. Burnaby is truly multicultural and the Burnaby Village Museum staff are working to bring their stories to us as well: 
Of course, our community, Burnaby, as well as other municipalities in the Lower Mainland have diverse histories, some older and some more recent, some of which are very colourful! Check out the display in the library to find history from your backyard.
