Series GR-3305 - Indexes to Beautiful British Columbia magazine photographs

Series consists of various files which list or index the Beautiful British Columbia magazine photographs. The indexes were created by the Special Services branch between 1980 and 1987 and were transferred with the photographs. The indexes consist of several lists arranged in numerical order. Most of the lists refer to the slides only and include both a master volume and specific lists by region or subject group number. There is also a master negative list which covers the negatives and prints. The series also includes a four volume subject index, arranged alphabetically by subject, which covers the slides, negatives and prints. The indexes and lists are incomplete in that not every single photograph is listed or indexed. In addition, the indexes may list a negative, slide or print that was removed from the photograph image bank before transfer to the BC Archives.

Lists of the prints in the large print albums (GR-3305) are with the albums themselves, tucked into a pocket in the inside cover. A reference copy of all the album lists is available in a binder stored with the old photo reference binders, ask for it at the retrievals desk.
