Another very useful database for Vancouver research is:

This includes information for -
- City of Vancouver: Jan 1901 to Dec 1929 (see note for 1905-1908)* Transcription ongoing
- District of South Vancouver: November 1911 to December 1928.
- Corporation of Point Grey: May 1912 to December 1928.
(Both South Vancouver and Point Grey joined Vancouver in 1929.)
