Provincial Museum photos of Jordan Meadows
The series consists of photographs taken or acquired by George A. Hardy of the Provincial Museum in 1947 and 1948, in order to produce "A report on a study of Jordan Meadows, Vancouver Island." The Jordon Meadows valley is on Southern Vancouver Island between Jordan River and Shawnigan Lake. This report was published as part of the Provincial Museum's annual report for 1948 and contains reproductions of eight of the photographs.
The photographs consist of 21 negatives and 27 prints (accession 198206-046), mostly taken by Hardy during his 1947 and 1948 field trips to document the natural landscape of Jordan Meadows. All but two of the negatives have accompanying prints. Approximately six of the prints were copied from photographs loaned to Hardy by Mrs. C. Bannerman (née Cis Weeks, one of the early settler family Weeks that settled in the Jordan Meadows valley). The photographs contain images of the natural topography and foliage of the valley, as well as photographs of the Weeks family home and the earlier cabin. In addition there are two notecards containing a rough timeline of activity in the Jordan Meadows area, probably compiled by Hardy during his research.
There are also six glass lantern slides made from the negatives, possibly intended for an illustrated lecture (accession 198203-106). These slides mainly show the old cabin and area.
