Michel, There is no such museum in Vancouver. The Victoria and Albert Memorial building (in Ottawa) formerly housed the Canadian Museum of Civilization (and I believe was previously known as the Museum of Man and Nature). The Canadian Museum of Civilization is now in Hull, Quebec; the Museum of Nature, as far as I am aware continues to be in the Victoria and Albert Memorial Building in Ottawa, and its collections are largely natural history. If you are still convinced that your museum is in Vancouver, B.C. you might try the Vancouver Museum, whose collection include natural history materials. Good luck with your research!

In a 1977 biography of a certain paleontologist, mention is made that he donated fossil material to the Victoria Memorial Museum in Vancouver, British Columbia. I thus assume that this is some kind of natural history museum. I have consulted the CHIN webpages and have not found anything on this museum. I would like to know if it still exists and, if so, under what name is it now known? Any help or suggestions would be very appreciated.
