    Black Diamond City Jan Peterson Recorded as presented to the Nanaimo Historical Society on October 10, 2002 Transcribed by Dalys Barney, Vancouver Island University Library on June 12, 2020 Pamela Mar Nanaimo Historical Society. Thursday, October 10, 2002, at the society's regular meeting. Introducing author Jan Peterson, who has written a book on the first 50 years of Nanaimo which will be published shortly. [recording stops and restarts] Daphne Paterson Can you hear me? Anyway, to introduce one of our own, the author of the most recent book on Nanaimo, Jan Peterson. Jan is an import from Scotland to Ontario in 1957, and she moved to the Alberni Valley with Ray and their children in 1972. There she worked as a reporter for the Alberni Valley Times and is the author of four books on the history of Port Alberni and the area. One of them, you may remember, is on Cathedral Grove. Two of her books received awards from the B.C. Historical Federation. The Petersons retired here in Nanaimo six years ago. And after four years of meticulous research, her first work on Nanaimo will be launched…next month? Jan Peterson This month. Daphne Paterson This month! Jan Peterson November 20th. Daphne Paterson November 20th. As a note for all of us here, to me it's significant that Jan has made extensive use of the records now held by the Nanaimo Community Archives. And, to me, it upholds our belief in the value of the archival material in this community as being very well grounded. For those of you who are new here, it was the Nanaimo Historical Society who initiated the Nanaimo Community Archives.

  • From Settlement to Return
    Lifting the Veil on Nanaimo’s Nikkei Community: From Settlement to Return Masako Fukawa* s a Sansei (third-generation Japanese Canadian) who has lived in Nanaimo for thirty years and whose family engaged in the fishing industry, I was curious about the history of the Nikkei A(members of the Japanese diaspora) in Nanaimo. Coincidentally, in 2016, a Nanaimo Community Archives report concluded that, with census data as “virtually” the only archival source, the community “remained largely veiled.”1 Thus, this article is an attempt to lift the veil and to reveal the history of Nanaimo’s Nikkei community, from early settlement to its growth and pivotal role in the fishery, to its forced removal in 1942 and, finally, to its rebirth many years later.2 Building on previous discussions of the Japanese Canadian presence in the city, I consulted interviews with present and former Japanese and non-Japanese residents, several of whom are now deceased, as well as census data, newspapers, government documents, and other sources to recapture the story of a once vibrant community. 3 This history also reveals an ugly side of Nanaimo: like other com- munities in British Columbia, its residents called for the expulsion of Japanese Canadians. Because few Japanese Canadians returned to * My appreciation to John Price for his leadership as director of the ACVI project and for his encouragement and insightful comments on this article. Thanks also to Christine O’Bonsawin and the two anonymous reviewers for providing me with valuable comments, one of whom provided substantial copyediting assistance. 1 Nanaimo Community Archives, The Japanese in Nanaimo: Preliminary Report on Sources and Findings, compiled by Nanaimo Archives, 2016.

    Writing and Researching Local History Jan Peterson Recorded as presented to the Nanaimo Historical Society on February 12, 1998 Transcribed by Dalys Barney, Vancouver Island University Library on May 1, 2020 Pamela Mar Nanaimo Historical Society. Thursday, February 12, 1998, at the society's regular meeting. Introducing tonight's speaker, Mrs. Jan Peterson, who will comment on writing and researching local history. Mrs. Peterson is the author of books on the Albernis and on Cathedral Grove. [recording stops and restarts] Jan Peterson Not long into the research, I realized I couldn't write about this period in history until I knew what had happened before. For example, who were these first mayors and councillors? Where did they come from? What motivated them? There was also the mystery regarding the city's name. For first there was Alberni, then there was Alberni and New Alberni (which became Port Alberni), until the two amalgamated and became Port Alberni. If that's confusing. Another conversation with Dorrit determined when and where I should begin. And we decided on the time when the Opetchesaht roamed Sproat Lake and Great Central Lake areas and the Tseshaht came up the Alberni Inlet during the winter months, occupying the site in the Port Alberni area. That was before European settlement. Sometimes I found it difficult to remain focused on the subject: the formation of the two cities. Oftentimes, I wanted to take my research in another direction, and I think all researchers will find this. You find something that really interests you, and off you go on another tangent.
