Award-winning popular historians Fred Thirkell and Bob Scullion have assembled an all-new collection of postcard views capturing different communities around British Columbia as they appeared at the turn of the 20th century. Collectively defining the state of affairs in BC a century ago, each one of these images has a story to tell. Once a thriving cannery town, Port Essington is now long gone, abandoned and then destroyed by forest fires. They may have mined millions of dollars in gold at Stout's Gulch, but you'll have trouble finding it on any maps today. Even Kelowna's main street is unrecognizable. With each passing year, it becomes more difficult to find rare and unusual black-and-white printed postcards from this period. Many of the ones Thirkell and Scullion have included in "Greetings from British Columbia" are themselves rare, borrowed from the collection of a pre-eminent postcard dealer without whose cooperation this new collection would not have been possible.
Imagine Please focuses on the development of private and public broadcasting in British Columbia, revealed through the tape-recordings of the people who made that history. It also draws on other reference material-government documents, city directories, newspapers and unpublished manuscripts. The main sources, however, are the broadcasters themselves. This book also reflects the goal of the Provincial Archives of British Columbia to collect, preserve and make available for research the historical records of broadcasting, both private and public, in British Columbia. Imagine Please takes its title from a dramatic series produced by Fletcher Markle for CKWX in 1940 and 1941. It underscores one of the main themes of this book-that before the coming of television, radio broadcasting was a vehicle of imagination as well as information.
