More historical videos of Richmond’s past have been released by the museum.
Richmond Stories, a collection of 10 videos by the City of Richmond, are all now available for viewing in person and online.
Launched in January, each video explores some of Richmond’s most fascinating stories using rarely seen archival film and photographs and captivating new footage.
Videos include a charming love story on the Interurban Tram, how sports rivalries built our communities, and how skilled Japanese craftsmen in Steveston once created the boats that were the backbone of the local fishing industry.
Each of the three- to six-minute videos was created by Lantern Films with input from community members with first-hand knowledge of each subject.
The full list of videos is:
Growth of a City
Steveston Tram – A Love Story
Window to the Past
Story of Steveston
