Friends of the Richmond Archives

The Friends of the Richmond Archives was established in 1986 to support the work of the City of Richmond Archives and to promote the preservation and understanding of Richmond's history.

In addition to supporting a unique publishing program for local Richmond history, the Friends also contribute funds for specialized archival equipment and projects at the City Archives. The Friends have endowed a UBC award for students in the Masters of Archival Studies Program and have supported a number of programs for local students.
