Biographical history

Custodial history

The UBC Laboratory of Archaeology received materials and records related to the Lions Gate Crossing Project in December 1997 from Sheila Minni. These records have been in the custody of the Lab of Archaeology since the deposit was made in late 1997. In 2011, the collection was re-housed in the current LOA archives location (room 221A at MOA).

Scope and content

The Lions Gate Crossing Project fonds contains all of the records related to the archaeological activity that took place in the Stanley Park area during the 1994 survey and excavations that were conducted on the behalf of the BC Ministry of Highways. This fonds also includes correspondence between Sheila Minni and LOA staff about the deposit of these materials in the late 1990s. Photographs of crew are included in these fonds as well as many photographs of culturally modified trees and structures in
Stanley Park.
This fonds consists of 1 box containing series 1-6, with series 5 being stored in the oversize storage/map cabinet in drawer 45. Series 6 consists of the final report in which a digital copy (PDF) is available only and is located on the archive’s server. Series 1 consists of surface observation records organized into one file. Series 2 consists of test excavation records organized into 2 files. Series 3 consists of photographic material, including print photographs, negatives, and photo records which have been organized into 2 files. Series 4 consists of notes and correspondence related to the project, organized into 2 files. Series 5 consists of 24 maps of various places across Stanley Park and the area that would be affected by the causeway expansion. This series is housed in the oversize storage/map cabinet in drawer 45.
