The fonds reflects Kersti Krug’s work on several major projects relating to organizational change and development at the University of British Columbia's Museum of Anthropology (MOA). Records created during Krug’s period as Director of Communications relate predominantly to surveys and studies conducted with members of, and visitors to, the Museum. Records Krug created in her capacity as co-director of MOA’s Certificate in Museum Studies Program illustrate the development of the program and its curriculum, and also its cancellation. As Manager of Research and Evaluation, Krug was involved in the initial stages of the MOA building expansion; records she produced during this period illustrate her consultative approach to assessing MOA’s space needs and her solicitation of proposals from architectural firms.

Records produced during these activities include proposals, questionnaires, interview transcriptions, data sets, graphs and charts, notes, drafts, and reports, draft curricula, copies of email correspondence, syllabi, research materials, and brochures.

The fonds has been arranged into the series:

A) Certificate in Museum Studies Program
B) MOA Space Needs and Development Options
C) Visitor Studies and Surveys
D) Vision/ Mission Statement
E) Galleries and Exhibitions.

Fonds consists of 21 photographs from the 1978 Bill Reid pole raising ceremony at Skidegate, an event at which Gill was an observer.

In 1976, a group of students from the Kyuquot Elementary, a First Nations elementary school on the West coast of Vancouver Island, decided to make a filmstrip that documented their lives in the fishing village. The children’s intention behind making these photographs was to raise money for a summer field trip to Victoria, Vancouver, and the Okanagan. As part of the fundraiser, the children made a visual map depicting their daily travel to school by boat and a hand-written order form for the film. Collection consists of documents created by the Kyuquot Elementary School and Mr. Moore, a former Assistant Professor of Anthropology in the 1970s. The collection consists of one correspondence letter written by Mr. Moore requesting a copy of their filmstrip, four pages of typewritten filmstrip descriptions, one handwritten map and flyer created by the Kyuquot Elementary School and one 70 frame color filmstrip that was digitized in 2017. [At the time of processing, it was unknown if the fundraiser was successful.]

Collection consists of five albums of photos from Meiji period Japan including a few photos from Scotland, one album of photos from China, and two lacquer-framed photographs. It consists mostly of albumen hand-coloured Japanese photographs. These Japanese photographs belong to the genre known as souvenir photography or Yokohama photography. The subject of these photographs in this collection echoed those found in the Japanese ukiyo-e prints of the so-called “floating-world” of the late Edo Period, from around 1780 until the 1860s. The delicate hand colouring of the albumen silver prints is one of the characteristics of photographs of Japan from this period.

There were mainly two media to disseminate souvenir photos from Yokohama during Meiji period (1868 –1912): photo prints and lantern slides (see the James Davidson collection), but other materials were also used. These hand tinted photo prints were usually bound in albums with lacquer covers lavishly decorated in makie (蒔絵), a technique of applying adhesive metal such as gold and silver or colour powder in soft lacquer to create designs.

The fonds consists of two handmade scrapbooks containing maps, photographs, notes and sketches made by Leonard Humphreys during his time in the Sudan. Humphreys compiled these scrapbooks in 1978.

Collection includes 130 audio cassette tapes of Cantonese opera recordings and over 1,000 Cantonese opera scripts, many of which are in the gongche musical notation (工尺譜). All of these materials are well preserved by the donor.

The cassette tapes were commercially released in Hong Kong and Guangzhou, China from the 1970s through the 1990s. The scripts were not published, but are presented in a textual format that supplements the audio medium of the cassette tapes. The scripts are also presented in a notation widely circulated among professional performers, amateur singers, and musicians in twentieth-century community singing clubs (qushe曲社) in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and similar Cantonese opera associations in diaspora transpacific Chinese communities, from Southeast Asia to Melbourne, Havana, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, to Vancouver.

This donation complements MOA’s holdings of Cantonese opera, notably the Cantonese Opera Collection of about 800 stage objects, which is the largest known collection anywhere of early-twentieth century Cantonese opera stage materials. MOA also houses other archival materials, mainly textual records, photographs, and video recordings. The additional digitized archival materials here position the Museum of Anthropology at UBC as one of the largest and richest collections of Cantonese opera outside China.

A detailed inventory of this collection is in progress. Contact archives for more information.

The fonds consists of digitized photographs and slides taken by Lorna R. Marsden during her visit to northern Ethiopia in the late fall, winter, and spring of 1971-1972. Marsden traveled from Addis Ababa to Debre Libanos, Debre Markos, Bahar Dar, Gondar, Lalibela, Mekele, and Aksum. On this trip, Marsden purchased several objects, thirteen of which she later donated to the Museum of Anthropology in 2016. Photographs include images of buildings, landscapes, and cityscapes, historic and tourist sites, celebrations, marketplaces, objects and goods, scenes from everyday life in urban and rural northern Ethiopia, as well as other images related to or giving context to the donated objects. The photographs also show Marsden at historic sites and other locations in northern Ethiopia, with Ethiopian locals and her travelling companions, and with some of the donated objects.

The fonds consists of the records created by Lynn Hill while she was employed as curator-in-residence at the Museum of Anthropology. They relate predominantly to her curation of the exhibition Raven’s Reprise. The exhibition involved the installation of works by contemporary Northwest Coast artists around the Museum, and was intended to challenge viewers’ expectations of Northwest Coast art by juxtaposing traditionally accepted aesthetics and technology with modern materials and urban sensibilities. Records reflect Hill’s planning of the exhibition, as well as her communication with artists involved in the exhibit and in a complimentary series of public talks. Other records relate to Hill’s work on Gallery 3 and with the Native Youth Program.

Documents include source books, correspondence, reports, training materials, budgets, grant applications, exhibit proposals, draft exhibition materials, resumes, brochures, photographs, interview transcripts, and copies of print materials.

The records in this fonds were created by Mary Frame during her 1995, 2002, 2004, and 2007 trips to Taquile, Peru to visit and document the Quispe-Mamani family. Frame first began to visit the family in 1982, revisiting in 1983, 1984, 1987, 1995, 2002, 2004, and 2007. Creating a strong connection with the family, Frame would visit to see her goddaughter, revisit her friends, and sell the family’s textile work to outsiders and return with the money owed to them. While on trips between 1982 and 1995 Frame collected a number of textiles that are now part of the collection at the Museum of Anthropology.

The records contained in this fonds include colour negatives, printed colour photographs, colour slides, Mary’s detailed typewritten notes (of her time with the family, descriptions and history of each family member, and item-level photographic descriptions), and CDs. The fonds is organised into four files according to each year of visit.

The fonds consists of an album, embossed with the title "A Souvenir, Mr. and Mrs. Lipsett", housing 24 photographs depicting people, imperial and Shinto temples, shrines, monasteries and other sites and scenes taken in various cities in Japan.
