SUMMARY: "Morning at Metlakatla", the first part of "CBC Monday Evening", is a docudrama by Imbert Orchard about the Anglican missionary William Duncan, who founded the controversial Indian mission of Metlakatla on the northern coast of B.C. in the 1850s.

The series consists of 261 colour photographs of Western Canada and Alaska taken from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. The photos are predominantly personal holiday photos taken in Haida Gwaii, Yukon, Alaska, Alberta, the Okanagan, and Vancouver Island. All but 6 of the photographs consist of photographic slides. Most of the scenes are landscape photos, but there are also some of gatherings of family and friends. Most of the slides have handwritten titles on them which have been used to create the file list. There are also a few that were created professionally and likely purchased as souvenirs.

The slides were originally housed in two slide cases when found. One of the boxes contained a handwritten index as well as little cards that provides a title for about half of the collection of the slides. The cards makes reference to some photographs taken in England and Europe, but these were not found within the collection, and so it is assumed that they had been removed by the donor before being given to the BC Archives.
