Working on my presentation materials for the BC Studies conference, and using the opportunity to look more closely at one or two specific addresses in the directories. We've learned that the 1941 phone directory is only phones (no-one without one appears); while the 1941 zai-kanada directory looks like it should contain everyone. However, the 1941 city directory has a lot of people living in rooms (e.g. at 510 Alexander) who are Japanese but never appear in the zai-kanada, so there's obviously some additional process of selectivity going on. In any case, I've put together the first half of the presentation, mainly illustrated with images, and will finish up tomorrow. Some of the same materials can be re-purposed for the Ottawa presentation.
