The Coquitlam city archive collection is growing substantially due to several large donations received in 2014, most notably from the Coquitlam Heritage Society. These donations included hundreds of photographs, glass plate negatives, and other historical documents. The largest donation provided many of the archive's historic images of places like Maillardville and Fraser Mills. The growing collection is filling the 300 square foot room allocated for archives storage, so the city is now exploring options for a permanent archive location.
