Historical blogs about Vancouver, British Columbia

I've been following a couple of blogs on Vancouver history, and the thought occurred to me that I should really share them with anybody else who's researching people who lived in Vancouver.

  • The Vancouver Archives post a blog called Authenticity, which covers all kinds of fascinating stuff about what's available in the archives, what's newly added, and so on. Currently, they're doing a series on using the resources in the archives to research the history of a particular building, like, say, the house your grandparents lived in. 
  • There's another blog called Changing Vancouver which posts historic photos of different buildings in Vancouver, with accompanying photos of how the same place looks today, with a short history of the building(s) involved. I don't know who's behind it, but apparently, they haunt the public library and the archives, because they dig up the most amazing facts.
I follow both blogs in my RSS reader, and they're always sparking ideas for new research paths to follow up.
