Events › Special Collections Tour and Zine Making with Chris Bose

Have you ever wondered what’s hidden on Level 7 of the Central Library? 

Step into the fascinating world of VPL's Special Collections Department, where history comes to life. Explore a rich archive of rare books, vintage photos of BC and the Yukon, old maps, pamphlets, directories, and periodicals that tell the story of the Pacific Northwest.

Join us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour, dig into the archives, and discover treasures in the public domain in Special Collections on Level 7. Then, bring history into the present by creating your very own zine with Indigenous Storyteller in Residence, Chris Bose in the Yosef Wosk Poets' Corner, Level 9.
