Part of Jean Donald Gow fonds
Series consists of personal and family records created and assembled by Jean Donald Gow in her career as an illustrator, artist, and wife of a Canadian naval officer while stationed in Victoria and elsewhere from the 1920s to the 1950s. The series also includes records relating to her father, Dr. David Donald, and research notes on Emily Carr, the Esquimalt Group of artists (with whom Gow was associated while living in Victoria in the 1920s), and the Maritime Museum. The series contains over 600 b&w photographs, the majority of which are housed in two albums: one which focuses on World War I and another which is a personal family album. There are loose photographs interfiled throughout (these are indicated in the file list). There is also one oversized exhibition record for "Jean Donald" from the Royal Drawing Society, which lists her awards obtained in 1921-1922, and 1924. A final line dated 1926 has been added in pencil.
