Archives Photos of the Day: Family Day Special: Timms Family
byTo celebrate BC’s first Family Day holiday, I turned up some old time family photos in the Vancouver Public Library‘s archives. Photographer Philip Timms, whose photos often grace the pages of this site, features his family in many of his photos making them a top hit in my archives searches. Having picnics, hanging out at Stanley Park’s beaches, eating dinner and playing music together, these century-old images provide a glimpse at a quintessential Vancouver family.
