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.
