Almost every day over on our Facebook Page we post a photo from the City of Vancouver Archives' holdings, looking back on our city throughout the decades. Lately we've been fixated on some of the oldest photos in the collection, posting 10 from the 1880's over over a couple of weeks. Take a stroll through the other 80's below!
