Scope and content
The series consists of photographic prints, architectural drawings, maps, and textual records pertaining to the building, leasing, and licensing of various Okanagan Helicopters Ltd hangars in BC, Alberta, and the Northwest Territories. Photographs depict personnel at work in the Vancouver hangar in the 1950s, and provide general views of the buildings. The majority of the records date to between the 1960s and 1980s.
The majority of records in the series were found in files stamped with the words “General Files Library.” The “General Files Library” was further subdivided into files pertaining to “bases” and “operations.” File titles reflect this original organization, but the files have been split between series to facilitate research. The received order of the “General Files Library” indicates that the creator also differentiated between base and operational files and organized each section alphabetically.

Physical condition
Some architectural drawings and other correspondence pertaining to the Penticton base showed evidence of water damage and subsequent black mold growth. Photocopies of the affected records are included in the file. One over-sized architectural drawing has been placed in a bag within the file.

Arrangement
The series has been divided into two sections: files that were not originally part of the General Files Library and those that were. These divisions were subsequently arranged alphabetically.
