Scope and content
The series consists of three accessions containing photographs collected or created by Imbert Orchard in connection with his oral history and radio documentary production work. The photos in accessions 197811-002 and 198107-080 were acquired by Orchard from a variety of private sources during the 1960s. 197811-002 includes images of the Great Westminster fire (1898); the casts of stage shows at the Lonsdale Theatre, North Vancouver (1913); and the steamer "Yosemite" at dock in Vancouver. 198107-080 comprises many images from the Skeena region, including the Skeena River, sternwheelers, landscape, and the towns of Hazelton, Minskinisht, Kitwanga, Port Essington, Prince Rupert, and Telkwa, as well as Kitselas Canyon and the Bulkley Valley. 67 of these pictures are negatives that were apparently taken in 1962 (probably on one of Orchard's interviewing trips), and show people who may be among his many interviewees. 198602-018 comprises extensive photo documentation of the life, family and occupations of Martin Starret (1888-1973), who was one of Orchard's key interviewees, and the subject of his 1981 book "Martin: The Story of a Young Fur Trader" (Sound Heritage Series, no. 30). These photos were acquired by Orchard from Mrs. Violet Starret, the widow of Martin Starret.
