A
History of British Columbia License Plates
The 29th of February 2004 marked the 100th anniversary of the
first motor vehicle registration in British Columbia, Canada.
To commemorate this event, I have been endeavoring to create
a concise history of the province's license plates. As a result
of this work, I believe that I now have one of the most comprehensive
license plate histories to be found anywhere on the web. There
are, for instance, well over 2,000 images (a number that increases
on a regular basis), in addition to a growing body of historical
writing and data on approximately 120 pages.
In
anticipation of eventually self-publishing a book on this subject
matter (hopefully in time for the 100th anniversary of the first
provincially issued plate in 2013), the material on this site
has been restricted to the period from 1950. In the interim,
please enjoy your time here. Remember that not all plate types
have been listed yet, and that I am always happy to hear from
people wanting to talk plates! |
