Bcsp Index Intro/Contents British Columbia Sessional Papers Index, 1872-1916 INTRODUCTION The British Columbia Sessional Papers are an annual collection of selected papers tabled in the Legislative Council of British Columbia (2nd to 8th Sessions, 1865-1871) and the Legislative Assembly (1st to 32nd Parliaments, 1872-1982). This index covers Sessional Papers published between 1865 and 1871 with the Journals of the British Columbia Legislative Council; the term Sessional Papers first appeared in the 1866 Journals. The index partially fulfills a requirement for an index to the complete set of Sessional Papers. Departmental reports and selected papers published in the Sessional Papers are also indexed in Marjorie C. Holmes' Publications of the Government of British Columbia, 1871-1947 (BC Archives Library call no. Ref. NW 016.9711 H752p). A photocopied set of table of content pages for all BC Sessional Papers is available via the Information Desk in the BC Archives Reference Room. The following special categories of papers are indexed under the headings in parentheses: (Acts): also indexed by subject matter (Indexes): to departmental annual reports or other reports, papers, etc. (Maps): only folded maps are indexed (Petitions): also indexed by the name of the petitioner and the subject matter (Proclamations): also indexed by subject matter (Reports, Official): at the departmental level only; subject matter is not indexed except for a few unusual cases (Voters Lists): arranged by the electoral district name used at the time the list was compiled. The last voters lists in the Sessional Papers appeared in 1899. Access to all the provincial voters lists held by the BC Archives may also be obtained by consulting a list at the Information Desk in the BC Archives Reference Room. A complete set of BC Sessional Papers is preserved by the Legislative Library. The BC Archives Library lacks some volumes between 1872-1982, but has a complete microfilm set purchased from UBC Library (available in a self-service Reference Room microfilm cabinet: reel sets D-24 [1872-1920], D-25 [1921-1947], D-25a [1948-1964], and D-26 [1965-1982]). Except with permission of the Duty Archivist, access to the Sessional Papers is restricted to use of the microfilm. Spellings have been standardized as much possible. Readers are reminded that the index utilizes words and terms from the 19th and early 20th centuries that may be considered offensive today. The next page contains instructions on how to use the index and how to access the BC Sessional Papers on microfilm at the BC Archives.

  • British Columbia 1858
    Legislative Library of British Columbia Background Paper 2007: 02 / May 2007 British Columbia 1858 Nearly 150 years ago, the land that would become the province of British Columbia was transformed. The year – 1858 – saw the creation of a new colony and the sparking of a gold rush that dramatically increased the local population. Some of the future province’s most famous and notorious early citizens arrived during that year. As historian Jean Barman wrote: in 1858, “the status quo was irrevocably shattered.” Prepared by Emily Yearwood-Lee Reference Librarian Legislative Library of British Columbia LEGISLATIVE LIBRARY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA BACKGROUND PAPERS AND BRIEFS ABOUT THE PAPERS Staff of the Legislative Library prepare background papers and briefs on aspects of provincial history and public policy.

  • Craigdarroch Military Hospital: a Canadian War Story
    Craigdarroch Military Hospital: A Canadian War Story Bruce Davies Curator © Craigdarroch Castle 2016 2 Abstract As one of many military hospitals operated by the federal government during and after The Great War of 1914-1918, the Dunsmuir house “Craigdarroch” is today a lens through which museum staff and visitors can learn how Canada cared for its injured and disabled veterans. Broad examination of military and civilian medical services overseas, across Canada, and in particular, at Craigdarroch, shows that the Castle and the Dunsmuir family played a significant role in a crucial period of Canada’s history. This paper describes the medical care that wounded and sick Canadian soldiers encountered in France, Belgium, Britain, and Canada. It explains some of the measures taken to help permanently disabled veterans successfully return to civilian life. Also covered are the comprehensive building renovations made to Craigdarroch, the hospital's official opening by HRH The Prince of Wales, and the question of why the hospital operated so briefly. By highlighting the wartime experiences of one Craigdarroch nurse and one Craigdarroch patient, it is seen that opportunities abound for rich story- telling in a new gallery now being planned for the museum. The paper includes an appendix offering a synopsis of the Dunsmuir family’s contributions to the War. 3 Table of Contents Introduction................................................................................................................................. 04 I.

Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Neubauer, Robert Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: Gateway to Crisis: Discourse Coalitions, Extractivist Politics, and the Northern Gateway Conflict Examining Committee: Chair: Robert Hackett Professor Shane Gunster Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Rick Gruneau Supervisor Professor Yuezhi Zhao Supervisor Professor Geoffrey Mann Internal Examiner Professor Department of Geography William Carroll External Examiner Professor Department of Sociology University of Victoria Date Defended/Approved: May 24, 2017 ii Abstract This dissertation explores the political and social conflict over the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline and tanker project designed to diversify Canadian bitumen exports by linking the Alberta tar sands to international markets via British Columbia’s North Coast. It examines this conflict in the context of long-term processes of capitalist growth, Neoliberal Extractivist development, settler colonial expansion, and transnational economic integration. It explains how both the project itself and the political response to it emerged from and helped constitute a series of interrelated national and global economic, political, and ecological crises. In doing so, it identifies extractivist development in Canada as an extension of the broader Neoliberal class project.

THE INFLUENCE OF POLITICAL LEADERS ON THE PROVINCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBERAL PARTY IN BRITISH COLUMBIA By Henrik J. von Winthus ABSTRACT This thesis examines the development of Liberalism In British Columbia from the aspect of leader influence. It intends to verify the hypothesis that in the formative period of provincial politics in British Columbia (1871-1941) the average voter was more leader- oriented than party-oriented. The method of inquiry is predominantly historical. In chronological sequence the body of the thesis describes British Columbia's political history from 1871, when the province entered Canadian confederation, to the resignation of premier Thomas Dufferin Pattullo, in 1941. The incision was made at this point, because the following eleven year coalition period would not yield data relevant to the hypothesis. Implicitly, the performance of political leaders has also been evaluated in the light of Aristotelian expectations of the 'zoon politikon'.
