Friends of the North Vancouver Museum and Archives Society
The Friends of the North Vancouver Museum and Archives Society is a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting awareness of community history and supporting the North Vancouver Museum and Archives (MONOVA). Registered as a charity with the number 89031 1772 RR0001, the Society plays a crucial role in fundraising for MONOVA's collections, programs, exhibits, and activities.
History and Purpose
Established to enhance the cultural and historical richness of North Vancouver, the Society supports ongoing efforts to connect people, expand learning, and inspire future generations through MONOVA's initiatives. The organization's mission includes acquiring items for the collections, purchasing necessary equipment, hiring summer students, and publishing materials about North Vancouver's history.
Fundraising and Events
The Society organizes events such as the annual "Friends Night at the Museum," which features a cocktail reception with entertainment, presentations by notable figures, and auctions. These events not only raise funds but also provide opportunities for community engagement and awareness about local history. Additionally, the Society promotes membership and receives support through sponsorships and book sales, contributing significantly to MONOVA's operations.
Role in MONOVA's Development
The Society has been instrumental in supporting major developments at MONOVA, including the opening of the new museum location in 2021. Their fundraising efforts contributed to the $1.5 million raised from private foundations, businesses, and individuals towards the museum's rebranding and relocation. This involvement underscores the Society's commitment to enhancing cultural heritage programming in North Vancouver.
Community Impact
By advocating for a new museum on the waterfront and supporting diverse programs and exhibits, the Friends of the North Vancouver Museum and Archives Society continues to enrich the community's understanding of its history. The organization's activities also include publishing newsletters and other materials, such as the award-winning "Express" newsletter, which highlights the rich historical narrative of North Vancouver.

We had an amazing time this weekend at the Seaspan Employee and Family Open House! We were excited to be invited back to share stories and archival photos of shipbuilding history in North Vancouver, and to speak with so many families who are part of the shipbuilding that continues here today. Thank you to our wonderful MONOVA volunteers for supporting us at this event! (fb)
In 1936 Vancouver businessman Victor Golden purchased six acres of land just east of the Capilano River to use as a hunting and fishing retreat. Learn more about the origins of the "Murdo-Frazer Cabin" in our latest Time Traveller in the North Shore News! 📸: NVMA, PHC 16848 (fb)
