Scope and content
This series contains correspondence, reports, memoranda, briefs, bulletins, etc., of the Home Economics Branch of the B.C. Department of Education. The collection begins with the introduction of domestic science into the public school system and runs until the branch was disbanded in 1981. It includes correspondence relating to operations of the Branch and home economics in general; curriculum development materials; teaching aids; lists of textbooks, teachers and circulating library materials; histories of the Branch; informational packets for teachers; and bulletins and newsletters prepared and issued by the Branch. It also includes a box of plans of home economics classrooms and a slideshow of a nursery school operated at Kelowna Secondary School.
A wide range of general departmental circulars were removed from the collection and catalogued separately.
