The fonds comprises videotape recordings of the public affairs program "Webster!", which was broadcast by BCTV from 1978-10-02 to 1987-05-01. The fond also includes an name/subject index of guests and topics and an incomplete set of daily line-up sheets.
The list of guests who appeared on the show is a virtual "who's who" from a decade in Canadian public life. Politicians, labour leaders, prominent business people, authors, academics and entertainers were among those interviewed by Jack Webster, a veteran journalist with a reputation for being both tough and fair. A partial list of the show's better-known guests appears below.
