Biographical history
D.M. Sinclair was a resident of Duncan, B.C. He managed a bank in Zeballos in the early 1940s, during the gold rush in that area.
Custodial history
Scope and content
The fonds consists of D.M. Sinclair's home movie footage. It includes travel footage showing places and scenery in British Columbia's southern interior, including the Okanagan, Boundary, Arrow Lakes, Slocan, Shuswap, Nicola and Big Bend regions. It also includes footage showing activities in Zeballos and vicinity during the gold rush there -- mining, community celebrations and sports, a flood, and various transport aircraft serving the area. There is also footage showing logging operations, presumably on Vancouver Island. The fonds also includes videotape copies of some of the films.
