Extractions: Home Publications The Archivist Lamb and Smith Before Mr. Lamb and Mr. Smith went to Ottawa... (page 2) In the fall of 1934, Lamb was approached by the Provincial Secretary and Minister of Education of British Columbia, Dr. George M. Weir about a possible appointment as the Provincial Librarian and Archivist in Victoria. He accepted the offer and took command of a staff of five housed in a wing of the Parliament buildings. In evaluating his archival experience at that time, Lamb conceded that his involvement with archival holdings to that point had been limited, almost exclusively, to research on non-governmental material in manuscript repositories in the United Kingdom. Help from the Canadian archival community could not be expected as the profession was still in the early stages of development. Turning to the Manual of Archives Administration by Hilary Jenkinson, he found little assistance as in Jenkinsons view, only official documents that had been continuously in official custody were entitled to be designated as archives. He added that Jenkinson would have looked upon the Provincial Archives of British Columbia, with its small collection of official records and its much larger accumulation of historical manuscripts, transcripts, etc, as being little better than an archival dogs breakfast. Lambs approach to archival administration was a simple one: look for practical solutions to practical problems.

As the 27th Lieutenant Governor, I follow in a continuum that began somewhat chaotically with 5 Governors and 3 jurisdictions. Those first Governors headed both the Colony of Vancouver Island from 1851 - 64 and The Mainland Colony of British Columbia from 1851 to 1858, when with the Douglas Declaration it became a Colony with Sir James as its first Governor. This was followed by the United Colony of British Columbia in 1866 that existed for five years, until Governor Anthony Musgrave led B. C. into Confederation with Canada in 1871 (and the Lieutenant Governors began).

Extractions: Management Plan SUMMARY January 1999 I n British Columbia, and indeed the world over, people today are wrestling with one of the most complex and compelling issues of our time , the need to protect the environment while sustaining economic growth. Many challenges face British Columbia's Land and Resource Management planning tables. They are finding ways to protect our magnificent natural heritage, while ensuring the viability of our resource-based industries and protecting jobs. The Prince George Land and Resource Management planning process is one of 18 strategic land use planning processes in British Columbia. The plan sets the direction of all land use activities on provincial Crown land within the Prince George Planning Area for the next ten years. Since 1993 a group of dedicated people from the Prince George and surrounding area have been working on a Land and Resource Management, Plan (LRMP). The LRMP process is designed to provide an opportunity for resource users, community groups, Aboriginal peoples, interested citizens and government agencies to work together using principles of shared decision making and consensus. The objective of the process is to produce a sub-regional land use plan for Crown land that considers all resources and values, and the needs and interests of the people and industries that use them. The LRMP process began in December 1992, when an invitation to participate was extended to Over 300 tenure holders, community groups, local governments and native bands.

Edited by E DWARD C. C ARTER II. Memoirs of the American Philosophical Society, vol. . (Philadelphia: American Philosophical Society, . Pp. xvi, Exploration forms a fundamental part of both the prehistory and history of North America. From the earliest arrival of Asians and Europeans in the Americas, unknown territories had to be investigated, mapped, and assimilated into existing conceptions of cosmography, humanity, and religion. Surveying the land and its resources was an imperative for aggressive and avaricious European colonists, and, in the long international struggle for dominance in the Americas, usable geographical information constituted a coveted resource. Witness the many British and French efforts to find a passage to the Pacific and the alarm these efforts aroused in the minds of rival Spanish officials. Native peoples' long familiarity with the terrain gave them a critical advantage over newcomers in these struggles to comprehend and control North America, and acquisition of this native information, or at least some usable approximation thereof, was bound up with the advance of European expansion. In the history of the United States, exploration became assimilated into the mythology and memory of the West: Frederick Jackson Turner's evolving frontier is unimaginable without the explorer in his many forms. Historians of science are equally indebted to explorers, whose ventures into mysterious lands and waters opened new areas for European and American investigation in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; from James Cook to John Wesley Powell, the allure of scientific discovery has actuated exploration of North America as fully as have politics and profit. The drama of such expeditions inspired such classic studies of Western discovery and settlement as Bernard De Voto's

Extractions: THE HISTORY OF CANADA New Dominion Is Launched The first Parliament of the new Dominion met on Nov. 6, 1867, with Macdonald as prime minister. By the Deed of Surrender of 1869, Canada purchased the vast Northwest Territories from the Hudson's Bay Company. The company was permitted to retain trading rights in the area and a small percentage of the prairie lands. The only western settlement of importance east of the Rockies was the Red River colony in Manitoba, which had attained a population of some 12,000 since Selkirk's time. The metis were the most numerous of these settlers. Their leader, Louis Riel, defied the new governor sent out to take over possession of the territory from the Hudson's Bay Company. Riel seized Fort Garry, set up his own provisional government, and forwarded demands to Ottawa that the civil rights and the land rights of the people be protected. At this point Riel might easily have won a place in Canadian history as the father of Manitoba, but he committed the grave error of imprisoning some of the Ontario settlers who opposed him and of having one of them, Thomas Scott, executed. Calmer judgments prevailed when Donald Smith (later Lord Strathcona) and Bishop Alexandre Tache, the religious leader of the Red River Settlement, went to Ottawa and obtained passage of the Manitoba Act of 1870. By this act Manitoba was constituted a province, with its seat of government at Fort Garry (later Winnipeg). But it was a much smaller province, amounting to little more than the Red River Settlement. The right of the French-speaking inhabitants to their own religion and schools was recognized. Soldiers under Col. (later Sir) Garnet Wolseley were sent to Fort Garry to bring law and order on authority from Ottawa. Riel allowed his provisional government to collapse and fled from the new province. The Red River Rebellion was ended but not the career of Riel.

Extractions: Advisory Editor: Tim Youngs The Romantic Period saw the advance of the massive British imperial expansion that was to make it dominant for most of the nineteenth century. There was a corresponding expansion in travel writings, which, highly popular in their own time, seemed to bring exotic realms within the grasp of the reading public and were a source for ethnographic and cultural information about other societies. Students of British history and colonialism will find much to interest them in this collection. The selection of writings reflects the diversity of the literature, revealing something of the cultural and gender difference of the travellers, as well as fuelling debates on colonialism, natural history, anthropology and slavery.
