For the past few months we've been sharing a daily(ish) photo on our Facebook Page taken from the vast collection of holdings of the City of Vancouver Archives.

Below we've put together a collection of 15 of the ones people Liked the most. Like our Page HERE if you want to see more of these pop in your feed every day.
