During a year away from studies in 1987-88, Dr. Paul Sanborn developed a successful grant proposal to the Science Council of BC (SCBC) to pursue a postdoctoral project with Dr. Tim Ballard in relation to sulphur-deficient soils in BC and prescribed fire. This project built on an existing broadcast burning study conducted by Macmillan Bloedel Ltd. near Port Alberni on Vancouver Island, led by Bill Beese (later at Vancouver Island University). Dr. Sanborn's work addressed sulphur forms and amounts in the soils at these sites, and the chemical processes influencing sulphur availability in relation to prescribed fire.

Only one part of this work was eventually published:
Sanborn, P.T. and T.M. Ballard. 1991. Combustion losses of sulphur from conifer foliage: Implications of chemical form and soil nitrogen status. Biogeochemistry 12: 129–134. https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00001810

The remainder of the work was documented in this Project Completion Report to SCBC, dated February 28, 1990, and entitled "Effects of Prescribed Fire on Sulphur in Forest Soils".

Thirty-four data files were selected for archival retention. There is some redundancy of content among these, with some formatted for incorporation as tables in the report appendices, and others containing some of the same data, but set up as input files for a statistics program. These account for almost all of the data listed in the Project Completion Report appendices. No glossary of variable names is provided, but these should be identifiable by referring to the Report.

During the 1980s, Agriculture Canada pedologists Scott Smith (retired from Summerland Research Station, formerly based in Whitehorse) and Charles Tarnocai (retired from Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa) had a large field program which addressed the trends in soil development in the central Yukon. Across this region, particularly between Whitehorse and Dawson City, the land surfaces and surficial deposits vary greatly in age due to the differing extents of glaciations over the past ~2 million years.

Tarnocai and Smith shared the unpublished data and soil samples from this work with Dr. Paul Sanborn, and this resulted in a student project published as:
Daviel, E., P. Sanborn, C. Tarnocai, and C.A.A. Smith. 2011. Clay mineralogy and chemical properties of argillic horizons in central Yukon paleosols. Canadian Journal of Soil Science 91: 83-93. https://doi.org/10.4141/cjss10067

This data set consists of transcribed data from lab data sheets, showing McQuesten-Dawson City paleosol data from the Tarnocai and Smith 1983 AAFC Yukon Paleosol Study. The data set includes chemical and particle size data for Tarnocai & Smith samples, as determined by the Ag Canada lab. Note that the “Site” column indicates the NTS topographic map sheet (e.g. 115P/13) for the sampling locations.

Large-format map depicts Northwood Pulp & Timber operating areas in 1975.

File consists of a 1973 BC Land Commission photographic slide and audio tape set entitled "Land Commission Act and the Agricultural Reserve Plan" that was used in original public hearings throughout the province. The 80 slides included with the presentation materials were created mostly by Gary Runka. The audio cassette is a recording of the presentation with speakers Bill Lane, BC Land Commission Chair, and Gary Runka, BC Land Commission General Manager.

Map depicts the routes of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, showing stations, railway connection, and the PGE Microwave Communication System.

This original film footage clip depicts Pacific Great Eastern Railway (PGE) track inspection with a V-10 vehicle from Fort Nelson to Fort St John in October 1971.

This original film footage clip depicts a Pacific Great Eastern Railway (PGE) track inspection trip with a V-10 Vehicle from Fort Nelson to Fort St John, October 1971.

This original film footage clip depicts depicts the first Pacific Great Eastern Railway (PGE) revenue train running south from Fort Nelson with Premier Bennett, September 1971.

Map reflects boundaries for the Aleza Lake Experiment Station, permanent sample plots, timber sales locations, and the Ecological Reserve.

This original film footage clip depicts the opening of the new Pacific Great Eastern Railway (PGE) car shop in Squamish with Premier Bennett circa 1970. Around 0:55, W.A.C Bennett is speaking with Eric Prince Stathers, the former Superintendent of Car Equipment at the Squamish shop.

Item consists of a map of British Columbia showing Status of Sustained-Yield Forestry Programme as at December 31, 1969 with colour coded areas indicating Public Sustained Yield Units, Special Scale Areas, Tree Farm Licences, and Major Parks.

This "The Land is Yours" film is a promotional film produced by the British Columbia Department of Agriculture in Kelowna, ca. 1968 or 1969. The film was produced by Gary Runka and hosted by Russ Richardson. Runka and Richardson provide commentary throughout the film. The film was directed by Nobert Hartig.

Footage of a large caribou bull in what is believed to be the Rainbow Mountains.

Item is a map that distinguishes the regions covered by Tree Farm Licence No. 1 granted to Columbia Cellulose and Three Farm Licence No. 40 granted to Skeena Kraft. Major locations indicated in this map include: Prince Rupert, Terrace, Hazelton, Smithers, Kitimat, Skeena River, and Nass River. Railway routes are also shown.

Footage of a lake shore and a dog, Suzie, retrieving an object from the lake. There is footage of a fish flipping around on the ice and another shot a fish swimming under the lake ice. There are also a recording of a white weasel climbing a tree

It is speculated that location of this film is either Anahim Lake or Fenton Lake.

Attached description: The graph indicates how Skeena Kraft pulping characteristics compare with the burst-tear properties of other bleached kraft market pulps. In this relationship, Skeena Kraft develops the high bursting strength typical of northern Canadian krafts while retaining a distinct advantage in tearing strength.
