The Pacific Socialist Education Association’s Pacific Tribune Photograph Collection comprises over 40,000 35-mm images taken for the weekly Vancouver labour newspaper Pacific Tribune. The images cover a twenty-year period, from 1972 to 1992, one of the most active periods in British Columbia’s labour history. Included in the collection are images from some of the most tumultuous events involving British Columbia’s labour movements:
the province-wide campaign against insurance rate increases introduced by the new Social Credit government in 1976
the opposition to federal wage controls that culminated in a one-day national work stoppage in 1976
the historic Solidarity movement in 1983
labour’s campaign — that also included a one-day work stoppage in 1987 — against government legislation that severely curtailed the right to organize unions and bargain collectively
The collection is also a rich source of images from political and other social movements, including:
rallies and campaigns for human rights
internationally recognized Vancouver walks for peace during the mid-1980s
