SUMMARY: TRACK 1: A series of oral history excerpts dealing with the topic of alcohol use and abuse, compiled from tapes in the collection of the Aural History Programme at the Provincial Archives of British Columbia. This material was assembled in August 1978 for possible use in a travelling exhibit or slide presentation by the Alcohol and Drug Commission, in connection with Alcohol Awareness Week (October 16-20, 1978). The material was ultimately not used. [TRACK 2: blank.]

This series consists of Assay certificate record books, 1902-1925 (14 vols.) arranged chronologically and includes name, date, and sample report; some volumes contain correspondence. Letterbooks of the Government Analyst relating to soil, water, criminal, alcohol, and various chemical analyses, 1919-1933 (4 vols.) Letterbooks relating to the Board of Examiners assayists' examinations, 1911-1939 (3 vols.) Examination papers, Assayer's examinations, May and November, 1900, Victoria.

Transcripts produced by the Hansard Office of sittings of Select Standing Committees and Special Committees of the BC Legislative Assembly, 1973. Not all committees were recorded since each committee had the choice of whether to accept Hansard's services. Of those that did, some met in camera without transcription services or "on the road" where recording was not feasible.

Included here are the Select Standing Committees on Agriculture, on Forestry and Fisheries, Public Accounts and Printing, Municipal Matters, Social Welfare and Education; and to Special Committees on Coastal Oil Spills and Television Broadcasting.

The item consists of an informational video created in 1989 for the Liquor Control Board, which uses dramatic reenactments that show the importance of serving alcohol responsibility. It is aimed at servers and businesses involved in the industry.

The series consists of 37 scrapbooks created by the Liquor Control Board between 1921 and 1963. The 37 volumes contain clippings about liquor related matters from various newspapers (mostly from British Columbia) and some photographs of liquor stores.
