Keep in touch: Communications through the Ages

“Keep in Touch” explores the many ways we connect—through voice, paper, signals, images, gestures, and screens. From handwritten letters and telegraph clicks to radios, telephones, and emojis, this exhibition traces how communication technologies have evolved over time. Step through each of our rooms at the museum to discover the tools, sounds, and stories, that show how, at its core, communication is all about human connection.

This exhibit was developed by several staff and volunteers including, Rachel Lige, Jenna Mossop, Gerrit DeWaal, Brianne Egeto, and more.

Thank you to our exhibit contributors: SPARC- Society for the Preservation of Antique Radio in Canada, Aldergrove Heritage, Old School Typewriters, Port Moody Men Shed, Port Moody Foundation, and City of Port Moody.
