Ship log books

The series consists of ship log books from the British Columbia Coast Steamship Service (BCCSS) and the Canadian Pacific Navigation Company that were collected by Earl Marsh. Log books in the series were created between 1900 and 1974, with the majority originating from 1970-1974. These volumes pertain to British Columbia, Washington State, and Alaska.

The series contains a set of pilot house log books from Princess Marguerite II, covering the period from September 1970-July 1974. Additional log books are included from Princess Louise I, S.S. Hating (later Princess May), S.S. Charmer, Princess Beatrice, Princess Mary, Princess Louise II, Princess Kathleen, Princess Marguerite I, Princess Norah, Princess Elizabeth, Princess Joan, Princess Charlotte, and Tug Kyuquot.

Log books are usually pilot house logs, though an engine room log book is also included. Volumes tend to feature entries for each voyage made by a ship. An entry often records the voyage destination and departure locations, departure and arrival times, distance travelled, engine revolutions, and information about the tide, wind, and weather.

Volumes from Princess Marguerite II were arranged chronologically. Volumes from other ships were in random order. Marsh likely collected these books between 1964 and 1973.

BC Archives has retained all records in the series.

Provincial Administration records

Series consists primarily of copies of documents created for or by the Province Leader and Provincial Council, but also includes notes from various committees, historical notes on the Province, correspondence, photographs, statistics, and high-level documentation that related to the Province and the Congregation as a whole.

Originally, the Provincial Administrator was referred to as the Province Secretary, and acted as the secretary to the Provincial Superior or Provincial Leader. Until the early 2000s, this position was held by a Sister of St. Ann, now it held by a lay staff member. The position has since changed and has become known as Executive Director, and continues as of 2024. The Executive Director inherited the Province Secretary’s files.

The series has been arranged into two subseries: A. Provincial Administrator records subseries, B. Provincial Administration office files subseries. The second subseries reflects the previously unprocessed records with little provenance that were arranged into this series after transfer to the BC Archives.
