Subseries consists of records collected or created by Don Bain during the course of his Massive Carvings Documentation Project. This project took place in the early to mid 1990s. The Massive Carvings Documentation Project was intended to compile information directly related to the poles and massive carvings in the Museum of Anthropology (MOA) collection into a set of Totem Pole Files. The Totem Pole Files were intended to be accessible to MOA staff, volunteers, students, and the general public. The subseries is divided into two sub subseries:

a. Totem pole files
b. Working files

File contains records from the Culturally Sensitive Objects Working Group. File contains correspondence, notes from meetings, memorandums, and proceedings

Subseries consists of records related to conservation issues that Miriam Clavir created during her duties and activities as conservator. These include: correspondence, memoranda, photos, conservation reports (including priority reports), and notes related to her laboratory activities in the form of proposals and policy notes, suggested conservation supply stock for the MOA shop, as well as a student’s conservation course paper. Records relating to her conservation internship with the Public Archives of Canada (1982), and her collaborative participation with Virginia Salazar on the International Partnerships Among Museums (IPAM) report on museum conservation (1991-1992) are also included.

Sous-fonds consists of records documenting the work of the Conservation unit at the Museum of Anthropology (MOA). Material includes correspondence, evaluations, building plans, photographs, slides, reports, teaching material, and other administrative and planning records.

The Conservation sous-fonds is arranged into series based on the records creator/individual Conservators. Because the Conservation unit is minimally staffed, and staff have historically maintained Conservator positions at MOA for many years, the records related to Conservation function are usually connected to single creator. For the smaller portion of the Conservation records that cannot be attributed to a single Conservator, a “General” series has been created.

The Conservation sous-fonds is arranged into the following series:

1. General
2. Miriam Clavir

Additional series will likely be added as more Conservation records arrive in the archives.

Subseries consists of records related to a symposium, “Doing Yourself in? The Artist as Casualty,” held in 1982 which Clavir organized and chaired. Included are an unedited transcript of the 1982 Symposium, and six audio cassettes of papers presented there. Also includes a number of conservation conferences Clavir attended between 1984 and 1989, some at which she was a presenter. These later conference records were accessioned in one unlabelled folder, and were subdivided by the archivist in relation to each conference attended.
