Margaret Maclure sketchbook

File consists of 1 sketchbook containing artwork by Margaret Maclure as well as newspaper clippings written by or about Margaret Maclure. Margaret Maclure’s daughter’s name, Catherine Maclure, is inscribed on the front cover; it is possible that Catherine compiled this scrapbook.

The sketchbook contains 28 pencil and watercolour sketches. 27 of the sketches are portraits, some of which are identified by name and others are untitled. There is also 1 watercolour landscape, depicting the front of a boat with totem poles in the background. There are a variety of newspaper clippings interfiled throughout the scrapbook. The sketches and newspaper clippings have various different dates, ranging from 1908 to 1923. Many of the sketches are undated, but assumed to fall within this range.

A number of the portrait sketches appear to be of individuals that Maclure was acquainted with as she identifies them by name. The identified individuals and/or titled works include: Mrs. Henry Hannington; Mrs. Home; Grace Wood Jess; Cathie; Lord Charles Beresford; Dean Davenport; the Bishop of Columbia; Kitty; Miss Denne [sp?] Parker; and A Lady of Decided Opinions. There are also a number of portrait sketches of unnamed Indigenous people. Although the individuals are not named, Maclure often includes inscriptions about the subjects of the drawings.

Also filed within the scrapbook is one handwritten obituary about Margaret Maclure (1938, author unknown) and one photograph of one of Maclure’s sketches.

Postcards from the Pandemic

Postcards from the Pandemic is a collaborative mail art project of over 900 postcards that were created by artists in and around Victoria, BC in the depths of social lockdown created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The project was begun in March 2020 by members of BOXCARSIX Artist Collective to stay connected during lockdown. Each artist initiated a series of postcards leaving space in each one for another person to add and respond to. Each card was then mailed on to another artist to add to and potentially complete the postcard.

Each postcard has been assigned its own unique PDP number and is stored in its own folder. See finding aid for container descriptions.
