Diaries

The file consists of 3 volumes of diaries kept by Israel Wood Powell.

The other diaries are undated, but document Powell's activities in British Columbia. The two undated diaries name several Indigenous individuals and make note about Indigenous trades, artifacts, ceremonies, and day-to-day affairs.

Personnel records

Series consists of personnel files of Oblates, both ordained priests and lay brothers. Personnel files were transferred with an individual upon his reassignment to a new location or retirement out of province. St. Paul’s Province (OMI BC) maintained rudimentary files of Oblates that had moved out of province; in those cases the files are simple, often containing a small number of secondary source material relating to the person in question, such as clippings. Personnel files of Oblates that remained in British Columbia are usually more complete, comprising most of the documents listed. Records include necrologies, death notices, obituaries, financial and tax records, wills, correspondence, newspaper clippings, historical notes, published material, newsletters, birth certificates, orders of oblation, evaluations and reports, applications, photographs, and transcripts of oral history recordings.
