Artistic film of a family and baby at rural beachfront property

Item is an artistic film showing Erickson family members in several different scenes filmed at a residential property. In one scene, family members repair a fence and gather wood on the property.

In the next scene, a couple enters an outhouse and exits holding a baby; the baby is placed upon a poppy plant. In the next scene, the couple and their baby wade in several tide pools on a beach while wearing grass skirts that drag in the water. Following this, the family shares an outdoor meal on the property dressed in normal attire. The final scene shows the baby wading in the tide pools alone, playing with a toy boat. Individuals appearing in the film include Arthur Erickson, his parents, grandmother and brother.

Some of the scenes are filmed or edited in an artistic manner, such as showing the camera in the foreground of a shot, or splicing certain scenes into the film on negative instead of positive film.

Whistler Brewing Company

File consists of a report prepared by Lundy Dale as a course assignment while pursuing a Marketing Certificate at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) in 2000. The project was to take a company (real or not) and create a marketing campaign to turn it around. Dale was a friend of Evans, and he introduced her to the Whistler sales rep so she could ask some questions. The case study is hypothetical and was not intended to be taken as factual or historically accurate. Dale shared a copy with Evans, and he retained it in his files.

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:
