Biographical history

Name changed in 1980 from Aural History Programme to Sound and Moving Image Division.

Custodial history

The files were compiled by the Sound and Moving Division, PABC, in the course of its regular activities. When the division was disbanded in 1988, the files were stored at the BC Archives.

Scope and content

The records consist of photographic files compiled for use in the publication of the "Sound Heritage" series and other special publications of the Sound and Moving Division, Provincial Archives of British Columbia (PABC). Files contain prints, negatives, transparencies and photo duplication lists.

The quarterly journal “Sound Heritage” (1974-1980) and the monographic “Sound Heritage Series” (1980-1983) were produced by the PABC's Aural History Programme (1973-1980) and its successor, the Sound and Moving Image Division (1980-1988). The program or division was also responsible for a number of special publications, including "Steveston Recollected" (1975), "A Guide to Aural History Research" (1976), and "Camera West: British Columbia on Film, 1941-1965" (1986).

Some of the photos were also reprinted in the anthology “Sound Heritage: Voices from British Columbia” (Douglas & McIntyre, 1984).
