Announcing the B.C. Local
Histories Project

The B.C. Heritage Trust has
generously funded, through the
B.C. Library Association, a project
to search out all local histories writ-
ten about communities in B.C. The
end result will be an annotated bib-
liography indexed by geographical
location, subject, author and title.

It will be available both in publish-
ed form and on computer through
the University of B.C. Library. The
project has been organized and is
being supervised by Jean Barman,
Assistant Professor, and Linda
Hale, Canadian Childhood History
Project Bibliographer, at the Depart-
ment of Social and Educational
Studies, University of B.C.

The bibliography will greatly
assist research and scholarship on
B.C. Up to the present time no sys-
tematic means exists to locate local
histories, some of which have been
privately printed in small numbers
in the geographical area which they
are about. Many are long out of
print. Local histories, while un-
even in coverage and quality, con-
tain a wealth of information
otherwise unavailable concerning
the many hundreds of small settic-
ments that have existed over time,
often in geographical isolation,
across B.C. The bibliography will
make it possible to examine a
variety of subjects about which we
still know far too little, including
the distribution of non-Native set-
tlement across B.C., actual means of
livelihood and emergence of social
institutions beyond the province's
urbanized southwestern tip and the
everyday lives of women and
children.

For the bibliography to be as
complete as possible, assistance is
sought from everyone — re-
searchers, librarians, lovers of local
history, authors, genealogists and
all others — aware of the existence
of local histories about their com-
munity or some other area of B.C.

 

Can you help? The project or-
ganizers are particularly concerned

to learn about smaller, older and
more obscure publications that
may be tucked away on a back
book shelf. Basic bibliographic in-
formation (author, title, publisher,
place and date of publication, ac-
tual location of a copy) should be
sent to Jean Barman or Linda Hale,
Department of Social and Educa-
tional Studies, Faculty of Educa-
tion, University of B.C., Vancouver,
B.C. V6T 1Z5. All assistance will be
acknowledged in the completed
bibliography, to be available by the
fall of 1990.

For further information, please
contact Jean Barman at 228-5331.
