One sketchbook with 43 drawings by Emily Carr. The drawings appear to have been created on her 1929 trip up the west coast of Vancouver Island to Nootka Sound and another in 1930 to Quatsino Sound. They include sketches of landscapes, settlements, beaches, and stylized interpretations of forests and trees, along with a handful of copies she made of First Nations designs on the Captain Jack pole at Yuquot. Several pages have notations about colour, geographical locations or descriptions of scenery.

West Coast Development Company collection
The collection consists of records relating primarily to the West Coast Development Company, which aimed to develop land, located near Clo-oose on the west coast of Vancouver Island, into a resort destination. The company often used the tagline—Canada’s Greatest Pleasure Resort—interchangeably with its proper name. The records include those relating to the company act and shareholder reports, share certificates held by J. Alfred Tougas, land purchase records and lists of individuals who have purchased lots, correspondence, maps of the development, promotional material, and city guides for Vancouver, Victoria, and Edmonton. Tougas’ name appears on many of these records.
The collection also consists of notes and research files compiled by the donor, some of which relate to the West Coast Development Company records. Included in this file are two photographs, possibly of J.A. Tougas. There are records relating to a previous donation to the RBCM (1989) as well (see Associated Materials note below). There is also a file containing four photographs which are not directly related to the West Coast Development Company, but two of which depict scenes near Clo-oose and Nitinat River.
