1972: On March 22, the Mission District Historical Society was incorporated under the Societies Act of BC and elected Ethel Ogle as President, Dorothy Crosby as Secretary, Carmella Clark as Treasurer and George Jones, Amos Gibbard, Betty Weir, Guy Symonds and Marion Sharpe as Directors.

1974: Dorothy Crosby was appointed the Museum’s first curator. Through her keen interest and tireless efforts, she developed the Archives as an auxiliary operation of the Museum. As a result, in 1976 the building became known within and outside the community as Mission Museum and Archives.

1983: Trustee Carol Law introduced the idea to allow space in a future library building to store the archives. This dream became a reality less than a decade later.

1994: The Society established a third department, Heritage Buildings Branch, which would be responsible for the preservation and protection of heritage buildings, sights, and features in the community. This department is now known as the Heritage Places Branch.
