Friends of the BC Archives Lecture: "The Summer of Love"
Producer/director Stan Fox will present a collection of archival films shot in and around Vancouver during the "psychedelic" 1960s, including the film "What Happened Last Summer", his 1967 CBC program on the turbulent hippie movement in Vancouver's Kitsilano neighbourhood. This film was one of the most popular revivals at the recent Vancouver International Film Festival. Come and join the Friends on this "trip" down memory lane.
Stan Fox has spent a long career in the realm of film and television production. He was director and producer in the film department at CBC Vancouver, Director of the Vancouver Film Festival, Associate Professor and Chairman of the Department of Film at York University, Toronto, and Director of Adult Programmes at TV Ontario. He has served on numerous film and television festival juries, and is presently an independent media producer in Victoria, BC.

Friends of the BC Archives Lecture: "A 'Certain Slackness' in Administrative Procedures: BC’s Civil Service, 1870s - 1940s"
At the February meeting of the Friends of the Provincial Archives, Bob McDonald, who teaches British Columbia history at the University of British Columbia, will talk about the “blatant pandering to patronage” and reluctant embrace of the merit principle that characterized public administration in British Columbia well into the twentieth century. In so doing he will ask why the “dismissal without notice” in September 1898 of poor Miss Wooley, secretary to three premiers through the 1890s, can be said to symbolize the history of BC’s civil service up to the Second World War.

Friends of the BC Archives Lecture: "The Trail of 1858: British Columbia's Gold Rush Past"
Authors Greg Dickson and Mark Forsythe (of CBC Radio's Almanac program) will talk about their new book, which celebrates the anniversary of the 1858 Gold Rush and the founding of the Colony of British Columbia. The book combines their own research, and contributions from listeners who recounted their own family legends about this seminal event in B.C.'s history. You'll also hear about the famous and the infamous BC characters who were here at the founding of the colony.
