Unpublished House of Commons Sessional papers

The microfilm reels in this series contain the unpublished Sessional Papers for the period 1916-1958. The Sessional Papers, which consist of reports, returns and other parliamentary papers tabled in the House of Commons, contain material which is both published and unpublished. It was decided to microfilm only the unpublished Sessional Papers because the published material, consisting mainly of annual reports of government departments and reports of Royal Commissions, are readily available elsewhere. No Sessional Papers are available for the period from Confederation to the end of 1915 because they were burned in the fire of 3 February 1916 which destroyed the Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings. Also, there are several Sessional Papers missing, particularly for the year 1916, but after that date there is almost a complete set of papers available. The Sessional Papers are arranged by each Session of Parliament and are numbered in the order in which they were tabled in the House of Commons. In order to facilitate their use, an alphabetical and numerical list of the Sessional Papers for each Session of Parliament from 1916 to 1925 was filmed. For the period 1926-1958, a numerical list was filmed for each session only because there is no alphabetical list available. However, a consolidated General Index to the Journals of the House of Commons of Canada and of the Sessional Papers of Parliament was published on five occasions covering the following periods, 1867-1876; 1877-1890, 1891-1903; 1904-1915 and 1916-1930. In addition, consolidated general indexes are currently being prepared by the staff of the House of Commons to cover the years 1930-1945; 1946-1960 and 1962-1972.

Research notes of Wilson Duff

Referred to as the Wilson Duff Papers, these records are microfilm copies of primarily the original research and field notes of Wilson Duff who was curator of Anthropology at the British Columbia Provincial Museum from 1950 to 1965 and deal with the ethnology of aboriginal peoples in British Columbia. Some field notes of other museum anthropologists are also included. The original papers consist of approximately 1.5 meters of textual records. The majority of them were microfilmed in order to make the contents available to clients of the then British Columbia Archives and Records Service. The Royal British Columbia Museum retained the original papers including some maps, typescripts and oversize material that were not microfilmed.

Wilson Duff received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of British Columbia (UBC) and a Masters Degree in anthropology from the University of Washington (Seattle) in 1951. From 1950 to 1965 he served as Curator of Anthropology for the British Columbia Provincial Museum (now the Royal British Columbia Museum). He also directed the British Columbia Government Anthropology Program from 1960 to 1965. From 1965 until his death in 1976 he was a Professor of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia. During his term as Curator of Anthropology with the Museum, Wilson Duff conducted the research work documented in these papers. The papers are a diverse collection of material, consisting of field notes, maps, official and unofficial records, and copies of published and unpublished works. Records of later museum anthropologists also form a part of this collection. The Wilson Duff Papers document many aspects of Indigenous history and culture, and include important linguistic information. They also document the activities of Wilson Duff and other staff of the Provincial Museum.
