Custodial history
This material was received via two separate donations. The first consisted of a transfer of ownership from the Fraser-Fort George Regional Museum Archives of slide sheets, photographs and some textual materials to the Northern British Columbia Archives. This transfer occurred on 12 May 1999 The second donation was received by the UNBC Library 24 September 1999 via the estate of the late Mary Fallis. This donation of slides was passed along to a faculty member in the Geography Department of the University of Northern British Columbia, and subsequently deposited with the Northern British Columbia Archives, ca. 2000 The letter written by Valerie Haig-Brown to Mary Fallis was a miscellaneous item found at the UNBC Library. It is assumed to have been originally tucked into one of the ca.580 books donated by the Mary Fallis estate to the UNBC Library in 1999
