Burnaby Historical Society

The Burnaby Historical Society (BHS) was formed in 1957, under the name "British Columbia Historical Association, Burnaby Branch". The BHS has been a major force in preserving Burnaby's historical data and in promoting the conservation of Burnaby's heritage. The society was integral in obtaining the B.C. Electric Interurban tram #1223 for the Village and initiating the move of the Jessie Love Farmhouse to the museum site. The society amalgamated its archival holdings with the City of Burnaby Archives in 2007 to bring Burnaby's historical documents under one organization. The Burnaby Historical Society has administrative and storage space provided by the Burnaby Village Museum.

The society meet on the second Wednesday of each month (except June, July, August and December) at the Carousel Pavilion of the museum. Various speakers are featured at each meeting and guests are welcome.
