Scope and content
Series consists of photograph albums, loose prints, glass plate slides, glass plate negatives, film negatives and other photographic materials created by the BCMC and its members. The photographs cover a wide range of activities undertaken by the club, and are particularly strong in their documentation of exploration and mountaineering trips in British Columbia. Some of the more prolific photographers whose works are included in this series are listed below. The dates at which they were active, or the period covered by their photographs, is indicated in parentheses: Charles Chapman (1900s-1910s), Jim Irving (1910s-1920s), Preston L. Tait (1910s-1940s), Charles Townsend (1920s), Neal Carter (1920s), P.R. Lockie (1920s-1960s), George Wallis (1930s-1940s), George Rose (1950s-1960s), Mary Wells Anderson (1950s-1960s), Martin Kafer (1950s-1960s), Michael Feller (1970s-2000s). Over 40 named photographers are represented in the BCMC fonds, though there are also a large number of photographs for which the identity of the photographer is unknown.
