The dynamic study of the past is alive at Fort Vancouver. In vibrant places throughout the park and Reserve--including Fort Vancouver, Vancouver Barracks, Pearson Field, and the McLoughlin and Barclay Houses--volunteers and staff actively lead, guide, and participate in many different research projects.

With the park's status as the premiere historical archaeology site in the Pacific Northwest, most research projects focus on the area's rich legacy of archaeology and history.
