Beer festival and event files

Records includes festival guides, information sheets, posters, programs, maps and tickets. Events documented include the Vancouver and International Brewmasters Festivals, the Great Canadian Beer Festival, the Okanagan Fest-of-Ale, BC and Canadian Beer Awards ceremonies, the Canada Cup of Beer, local cask festivals and Vancouver's Craft Beer Week. Files are arranged chronologically by event.

Correspondence and project files

Series consists of records relating to historical enquiries made or received by Evans and his activities as an historical consultant on a number of projects.

Activities documented include design projects incorporating historical materials for brewpubs and breweries (Spinnakers and Moon Under Water in Victoria, Longwood in Nanaimo, the Vancouver Island Brewery); his work as historical interpretive consultant for the Arbutus Greenway Residential Project in Vancouver that redeveloped the old Vancouver Breweries site at 11th Ave. and Vine St. in 1999; a proposal to the BC Trade and Investment Office to develop a resource guide promoting BC brewing expertise to potential clients in Japan; and his correspondence with brewers, breweries, collectors, associations, and other brewing historians on topics relating to beer history.

Records includes correspondence, notes, and working papers; agreements, invoices, and work orders; brewery promotional material; copies of newspaper and periodical articles; copies of fire insurance plans (sections), historical photographs, and archival materials; and a copy of the Fall 1996 BCL Guide containing Evans' article "When Everything Old is New Again: The Tradition of Brewing in BC" (file 10).

Brewing history research files

Series consists of Evans' research materials relating to BC brewing history. A large number of the files date back to Evans' work on his thesis (1985-1991), but he continuously added new material to old files and created new files in the course of his ongoing research.

Records includes Evans' notes and working papers, correspondence, speaking notes for public talks; interview notes and biographical sketches of brewers and brewery profiles; copies of advertisements, beer labels, photographs, maps, fire insurance plans, drawings, and floor plans; copies and transcriptions of newspaper and periodical articles, excerpts from publications (books, websites); and copies of archival documents, the originals of which are held by other repositories.

Two types of dates have been given to most files in the series: "dates of creation" and "dates of document". "Creation" dates are based on date of accumulation by Evans. Many of the working papers and notes by Evans are undated, while documents that are dated are often reproductions of older, historical records that he had copied by the repositories he visited. This makes it difficult to determine the precise dates on which files were opened or closed. Files dated [198-]-[199-] are thought to belong to the thesis period; files dated [198-]-[201-] originated in the thesis research but continued to be added to; other ranges are given where more precise dates of accumulation seem possible based on file contents (e.g. Evans' own correspondence). The "dates of document" given at the sub-series and file levels refers to the dates of the original documents that Evans copied.

The series is arranged into ten sub-series:

Public talks and publications

Series consists of records relating to Evans' public speaking engagements and his writings on the history of beer and brewing. Evans' public presentations on beer go back to 1987; while still working on his thesis, Evans gave a series of talks on the history of brewing on Vancouver Island (The Devil Hop tour), organized by the Royal BC Museum and presented to six different Island communities. By the 2000s, Evans had developed a repetoire of presentations he could adapt to various contexts.

Activities documented include a workshop ("Ale and Hearty") on the history of beer that Evans developed for the University of Victoria continuing education; guest lectures for UVic History classes; Evans' Beer School classes, part of the annual Victoria Beer Week; contributions to Victoria's 150th Anniversary symposium (2012); participation in the Heritage Vancouver Talks Dirty! series (2000); talks at beer and food pairing events; and keynote addresses delivered to meetings of professional associations and home brew clubs.

Evans' published writings found in the series include copies of "Pass the Jack O'Hearts: A History of Brewing in Victoria" (Museums Roundup, no. 232, Fall 2005); and "The Beer Brewers," a chapter in Nancy Oke and Robert Griffin (eds), Feeding the Family: 100 Years of Food and Drink in Victoria (Victoria: Royal British Columbia Museum, 2011).

Records include correspondence; speaking notes, drafts, lecture outlines, presentation slides, and photographs; event brochures and programs, press releases, course posters and course outlines; copies of newspaper and periodical articles; and reading lists and glossaries.

Files are arranged chronologically.

For this campaign, Adbusters created and sold the Blackspot Sneaker (2002) and the Unswoosher (2006), shoes manufactured in a unionized workshop and created with vegan and recycled materials.

Book project files

Series consists of records relating to Evan's book project. In 2011, Evans reached agreement with the Royal British Columbia Museum (RBCM) to produce a series of books under the working title The History of Beer Brewing in British Columbia. The work was initially planned as three separate volumes: The Pioneer Years, 1858-1920 (Part 1); The Years of Consolidation, 1920-1982 (Part 2); and A Renaissance of Brewing, 1982-present (Part 3). A revision of the agreement in 2016 narrowed the scope to just the first two volumes. Evans continued to work on the project up to his death, but the manuscripts were not completed and no copies survive.

This series brings together a number of files relating to the book project. Records includes outlines for the project and the publishing agreement with RBCM (files 1-2); correspondence, notes, working papers, progress checklists, invoices, bibliographies and reference materials. Reference material includes works by Lynn Pearson, "Towers of Strength: Brewery Architecture at Home and Abroad" (paper given at the Victorian Society at Young's Brewery in London in Feb 2006) and Derrek Eberts, "To Brew or Not to Brew: A Brief History of Beer in Canada" (Manitoba History, vol. 54, Feb. 2007).

While there are no surviving manuscripts for the book, it seems likely that many fragments do exist in the form of the multi-page profiles of individual breweries that are found in many of the "brewery files" in series 3.

Two files placed in series 9, Photographs, labels and graphics reference the book project and contain correspondence relating to permissions for use of photographs in the book. Much of the materials in series 3 was accumulated in the course of Evans' work on the book.

Undergraduate Semester in Dialogue and Centre for Dialogue records

Series consists of records documenting the establishment and development of SFU's Undergraduate Semester in Dialogue (USD) program by Mark Winston in his capacity as director of the program.

Records include correspondence, agendas, minutes, reports, proposals, photographs, and other materials.

The series is arranged into 2 sub-series in order to keep separate the records of the USD program, which entail administrative records created and received by Winston in the course of his activities in founding, developing, and sustaining this academic program for the university. These materials are unique and considered university records. However, because Winston created and received these university records as he created and received his personal papers, the archivist opted to keep them in Winston's fonds rather than remove them to a university fonds.
