There have been two institutions in B.C.’s history operating under the name of the Bank of British Columbia, the first operating from 1862 until 1901. While the activities of these two institutions are unrelated, the shared namesake was often highlighted, and many members of the public communicated with the second Bank of B.C., sending its staff historical material related to the first Bank of B.C. These records can be located in the series “Bank history records”.

The records were received by the archives with no designated classification system and many of the textual records and the majority of the photographic records were loose in their boxes. A selection of photographs were selected for removal by the archivist as they lacked any identifiable connection with the Bank and its business. A selection of textual material and video cassettes were identified for removal due either to their deleterious physical condition or lack of context to the Bank’s business.
Additionally, while the Bank of B.C. collected newspaper clippings throughout its life, documenting its advertising campaigns and media coverage, those folders and scrapbooks comprised exclusively of newspaper clippings devoid of other context and featuring predominantly material from major newspapers, were not kept by the archivist.

The series consists of several cause books for bankruptcy created in the Supreme Court of Vernon between 1921 and 1980. The cause books cover the Interior Region of BC, including Vernon, Penticton, Kelowna, and Kamloops. The cause book for the period 1921 to 1973 has been microfilmed, but the corresponding index is available in the original book format only. Page 1 of the 1921-1973 cause book has a note signed by G. Hunter, C.J.B.C., dated 12 April 1921 appointing Leonard Norris as Registrar in Bankruptcy for Vernon. The volume functions as a cause book for the Bankruptcy Court of British Columbia and the Bankruptcy Court of Canada for 1921-1923. In 1923 the entries read "In the Supreme Court of British Columbia - In Bankruptcy."

Indexes are not available for the period 1973 to 1980. The index covering the period 1921 to 1973 lists the name of the party and the corresponding page in the cause book. Typical cause book entries list the plaintiff(s) and defendant(s), as well as a list of proceedings in the bankruptcy case. Entries are arranged chronologically.

The series consists of copies of British Columbia baptism, marriage and death registers created by churches that conducted the ceremonies. Currently only records (baptisms 1849-1899; marriages 1864-1903) of St. Andrews Cathedral, Victoria , are available.

Churches were required to submit their baptismal registers to the Vital Statistics Division in the 1940s so the registers could be microfilmed. Vital Statistics subsequently created an alphabetical index to the microfilmed registers, and a database was created from the index volumes with supplementary information from the microfilmed registers added to the entries. This information is searchable via the BC Archives Genealogy database. The microfilm copies of the original registers may include some additional information or context that was not included in the database.

Each bound volume was created by one church. Each entry corresponds with one ceremony, but may involve multiple individuals. The entries within each volume are ordered chronologically and may be numbered. Every volume varies in the type and presentation of information included and may not be consistent throughout one volume. All entries include the date of the ceremony, name of individual(s) involved in the ceremony, and the name of the priest who conducted the ceremony.

Baptism register entries may also include name of child, date of birth, place of birth, sex of child, name and surname of father, name and maiden name of mother, residence of parents, profession of parents, religion of parents, name and surname of grandparents, religion of grandparents, and name and surname of godparents.

Marriage register entries may also include name and surname of groom, name and maiden name of bride, age of bride, age of groom, name and surname of their parents, name and surname of witnesses present, religion of named individuals, place of birth, and signatures of parties involved.

Death register entries may also include: death dates, cause of death, age at death, location of internment and information about the funeral ceremony.

Indigenous people are included in the registers (as Indians or Sauvages). Some Indigenous names are included. Many baptisms of Indigenous people were in groups and may only consist of a list of the Christian names the priest gave to the baptized individuals. Tribal or community affiliations may be included.

Some entries include the geographical location that the ceremony took place. This location may vary from the location of the church, as some priests travelled quite widely to conduct ceremonies.
