Subseries consists of records relating to the <i>Through My Eyes</i> exhibit held at the Museum of Vancouver. The exhibit is a collaborative effort curated by 27 First Nations people of different Northwest Coast communities allowing them to “present their personal perspective” of their culture and its objects. McLennan was involved through managing the development, production and implementation of this collaborative effort. Records include photographs and slides of potential exhibit artifacts, media reviews, student paper reviews, exhibit project statements, transcripts of interviews done with First Nations artists, correspondence, consent forms for interviews and audio cassettes of the taped interviews which detail McLennan discussing various pieces of First Nations art with several artists.
File contains images of the artists featured in the Through My Eyes exhibit such as Jim Hart, Bob Dempsey, Bill Reid, Richard Sumner, William White, Isabell Rovidk, Doreen Jensen, Richard Hunt, and Terry Starr. There are also images of some of their pieces, also featured in this exhibit.
File contains images of photographs, letters, and newspaper clippings used for background research for this exhibit. Other textual materials include inkjet copies of photographs of silver pieces featured in the <i>Signed Without Signatures</i> exhibit. The photograph in this file is a reproduction of a historic photograph with nine men, five sitting in the front row and four men standing behind posing in front of a wooden building. They are all wearing three piece suits.
File contains photocopies of images of silver bracelets held at the Royal British Columbia Museum. The file also contains print outs of the RBCM's online catalogue of various bracelets held in their collection.

This subseries consists of records related to the traveling exhibit that came to MOA called <i>Treasures of the Tsimshian from the Dundas Collection.</i> Records include draft correspondence, and draft exhibit photos and text (including case labels).
File mainly contains copies of letters McLennan sent to various members of the Lax Kw'Alaams First Nations who contributed to the Tsimshian Treasures exhibit. There is also a copy of a paper titled "From ceremonial object to curio: Object Transformation at Port Simpson and Metlakatla, British Columbia in the nineteenth century."
File contains photo-copies of images of First Nation community members in Alert Bay and at St. Mike's Residential School. The photographs were taken to community elders who had been at the residential school so that they could annotate the photographs. Not all of the images in the file were used in the exhibit.
