Brewer's Gold travelling exhibit files

Sub-series consists of Evans' project files relating to "Brewer's Gold: A History of the Hop Growing Industry in British Columbia," a travelling exhibit using photographs, artefacts and text. The exhibit launched in 2003 and travelled for several years to cities throughout North America, receiving the BC Museums Association's Award of Merit in 2005.

The exhibit was organized by the Chilliwack Museum and Archives, but it was also a collaboration involving the Secwepemc Museum and Heritage Park in Kamloops, Coqualeetza Cultural Education Centre, Stō:ló Nation, Yakima Valley Museum, and the American Hops Museum. It received grant funding from the Department of Canadian Heritage, with additional sponsorship from CAMRA Victoria, the Great Canadian Beer Festival, Hopunion USA, Spinnakers Brewpub and Guesthouse (Victoria), and the Chilliwack Community Development Initiative. Ron Denman (Director, Chilliwack Museum and Archives), Ken Favrholdt (Director, Secwepemc Museum and Heritage Park) and Evans supervised the project, while Evans and Linda Eversole undertook much of the research and writing.

Records includes grant proposal, correspondence, notes and working papers; copies of archival descriptions and finding aids, artefact lists, photographs and illustrations; interview transcripts; copies of newspaper and periodical articles; and exhibit storyline, draft panel text, and exhibit-case design documentation.

BC brewing industry: thematic subject files

Sub-series consists of subject files relating to the history of beer and brewing in BC. Most (but not all) of the files in this sub-series were started by Evans in the course of his thesis work, and many were subsequently continued in his post-thesis research.

Topics documented include the establishment and chronology of various BC breweries; historical brewing processes, equipment, supplies, production and distribution; brewery personnel and labour relations; advertising, public houses and saloons; BC's temperance movement, prohibition, post-prohibition liquor legislation, and debates and plebiscites around liquor licensing in the province.

Records includes Evans' notes and working papers, interview notes, and correspondence; newspaper clippings (photocopied) and periodical articles, book reviews, printed web pages and bibliographies; and images of beer bottles and labels. Includes a copy of Home Made Beverages by a Practical Brewer (1919) and old brewing recipes (file 35); copies of census records, sessional papers of Parliaments and tables of trade and navigation (statistics), labour agreements (1916-1937) and union dues books file 28), reports and unpublished papers.

Brewers' files

Sub-series consists of research materials relating to individual BC brewers or brewing families. The sub-series originated in three very large files Evans maintained, titled Brewers A-H, Brewers I-P, and Brewers Q-Z. In each, material was clipped together by brewer with a covering sheet with the brewer's name. To facilitate access, the archivist has created a separate file for each brewer's bundle. File 1 (Brewers A-Z) contains the cover sheets for brewers for which no material was accumulated.

For some brewers, Evans seems to have moved the bundles to the associated brewery files in sub-series 2 through 9 - e.g. bundles for Charles Doering and Otto Marstrand appear in the file on the Doering and Marstrand Brewery (F-316-3-5-0-7). All such bundles have been left in place in the brewery file where Evans moved them.

Records includes Evans' correspondence, notes, working papers, and biographical sketches; copies of census records, marriage records, death certificates and obituaries, family search records, will and probate records; and copies and excerpts from newspaper stories and articles.
