From the Paper:

"Vancouver is a city situated on the west coast of Canada, in the province of British Columbia. The western half of Canada was the last half to be reached by white settlers, and therefore Vancouver is a relatively young city. In fact, it is one of the few major cities in North America that was only founded after the invention of the camera, so the historian can access pictures documenting its entire history. Although the area was inhabited by natives, such as the Musqueam, for thousands of years, the first Europeans only arrived as part of a gold rush in the 1850s."
