Biographical history

In 1996 Ministry of Government Services was also disestablished (OIC 197/1996). Its functions were dispersed among the Ministry of Attorney General (OIC 198/1996); Ministry of Employment and Investment (OIC 200/1996); Ministry of Environment, Land and Parks (OIC 201/1996); Ministry of Finance and Corporate Relations (OIC 202/1996); Ministry of Labour (OIC 204/1996); and Ministry of Small Business, Tourism and Culture (OIC 206/1996).
Custodial history
Scope and content
The series consists of records concerning the participation of the British Columbia government in the 1992 exposition in Seville, Spain.
Most of the files consist of interactions between the Provincial Secretary -- who coordinated BC’s representation in Seville -- and numerous other ministries, including the Ministry of Economic Development, Small Business and Trade, and the Ministry of Development, Trade and Tourism.
In particular, records consist of those of the Expo ’92 Business Development Program. That program included various business development projects, including: (1) B.C. trade initiatives, targeting the sectors of aerospace, subsea, food, environmental services, and trade media; (2) business immigration initiatives, targeting the sectors of food and tourism development; (3) investment promotion initiatives, targeting sectors of electronics, aerospace and pharmaceuticals; (4) tourism promotion brochures distributed at Expo in Spanish, German, French and English; and, (5) promotion of the arts and exhibition industry.
Records include correspondence, memos, meeting minutes, entertainment proposals in written form and video tapes; budget papers; publicity materials; news clippings; press kits; minister’s speeches and itineraries; routine administrative and financial records; files on contracts and contractors' invoices and fees; photographs; reports, and letters of agreement.
Created between 1988 and 1993, the records were created under the circumstances of the change in government after the election of October 17, 1991, and numerous changes in government ministries and their names. These include, for example, the creation of the Ministry of Economic Development, Small Business and Trade on Nov. 5, 1991.
Many of the records were classified under Schedule 881036 (Office of Protocol ORCs), class 51200-20; that primary included records relating to “special events,” which included British Columbia's pavilions at international expositions.
