June 24-July 3
I hope everyone had a nice Canada Day weekend!
Last Monday, after our meeting, I researched and answered some correspondence relating to the research agreement. I also called some more schools whom I had learned had archives.
I then went down to BC Archives on Tuesday, and discussed the research agreement again. I asked whether some archives staff could take out the sections relating to juveniles in some of the documents I requested; sadly, I was told that this was impossible. I finished up by researching there for the day.
Wednesday morning I was at UVic researching, and then in the afternoon, I went to the Victoria Police Museum and Archives, where I got some wonderful photographs, and got to look through their files relating to the history of the department.
Thursday was spent at BC Archives again, primarily looking at the Public School Reports.
Friday was spent uploading and entering the data for images in the Humanities Computing and Media Center. This took a long time, and I still have more to do.
Yesterday I did secondary source research and write-up work.
This morning I did the same, but also went back to Victoria Police Museum and Archives for a meeting with the Volunteer Coordinator and the President of the Victoria Police Historical Society.
The minutes are for Monday the 24 to July the 3.
