Members meet the 3rd Saturday of each month at a location in Burnaby, BC to share current costume news, view recent donations, discuss fund raising ideas, etc. During the week, members may be involved in activities such as cataloging and preservation of the Society's collection, and the creation of exhibits. Ultimately, the Society would like to see the founding of a museum of costume in the Lower Mainland.
New members are always welcome.
The collection consists of over 2000 items of women's, men's and children's garments and accessories. Though the bulk of the collection ranges in date from the 1880s to the 1980s, we do have have a few rarer pieces dating from the 1ate 1700s and early 1800s. The majority of this collection has been built over the years through the generous donations of members and the general public.
