The series consists of film material (and some videotape copies) of films produced by or for, or accumulated by, the British Columbia Provincial Museum. This material comprises a large amount of natural history films, footage and out-takes, mainly shot by curator G. Clifford Carl, as well as much smaller accessions of footage from the vertebrate zoology, exhibits, modern history and archaeology divisions. Also included is a copy of a documentary video production on the history of the museum, produced in 1986 to mark the museum's 100th anniversary.

The series also includes 48 audio recordings of interviews.

The series consists of correspondence inward (with responses) to the director, assistant director, curators, and other personnel of the Provincial Museum. The correspondence is with collectors, amateur and professional naturalists, museum officials, and federal and provincial government departments and agencies and was created between 1897 and 1970.

The files include correspondence with the museum's first three directors (called "Curators" prior to 1913): John Fannin (1886-1904), Francis Kermode (1904-1940), and G. Clifford Carl (1940-1969). However, very little of the correspondence generated during Fannin's tenure has survived, while most of the Kermode files date from the post-1918 period.
