The City of Victoria Archives is the official repository for all civic records of permanent value to the City of Victoria. They include records from various City departments including the Mayor's Office, City Manager, Finance, Solicitor's, Engineering and Parks. The records date from the City's incorporation in 1862. Each year more City records are transferred to the Archives as a result of the active records management program.

A wide variety of reports by and about the City are also available. These published and unpublished City documents (CD's) include neighbourhood plans, transportation studies, heritage reports, downtown studies, as well as economic and social profiles, surveys, and architectural proposals. These documents are non-circulating reference copies. Please contact the appropriate City department for publications that may still be available for purchase.
