Scope and content

Series consists of official signed and sealed by-laws passed by City Council, the legislation of the governing body of the City of Vancouver. Series is complete from incorporation in April 1886. Many by-laws include appendices (e.g. financial data, maps, etc.). Arranged chronologically (i.e. in number order).

Notes area

Physical condition

The earliest by-laws were handwritten, as of 1895 they were typed. Although the whole set was originally bound into numbered volumes, by-laws no. 1 through no. 2641 were disassembled for microfilming purposes; subsequent volumes remain bound until 2004. From 2004, all by-laws are disassembled and housed in individual folders.

Immediate source of acquisition

The first accrual was transferred from the Office of the City Clerk in 1974.
