Annual reports and photographs of antecedent agencies, 1819-1994 (bulk, 1922-1994).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/52906622

The photographs are divided into two series. The first is a subject file. The second is slides, glass plates, etc. Within each subject, the photos have been separated, as best possible, to give an account of their origins. The folder title for the first series includes: subject and office of origin (if applicable). In many cases it was not possible to determine which agency created or had these photos created. All other mediums are in the second series, including slides and glass plate negatives, housed in Box 3 in individual sleeves or envelops for preservation purposes. In all cases, as much information about the photograph, photographer and subjects, as is known, is listed on the encasing. The collection also contains printed annual reports of BCSA from 1957 to 1994.
