Biographical history
Blanche Murison, widow of the late Captain W.J. Holt Murison, CEF, is a prominent Vancouver clubwoman, social service worker, poet and writer. She published poetry in local newspapers and composed poetry during World War II in support of the European Allies. Murison also wrote the lyrics to Vancouver's Golden Jubilee Song. She has been very concerned about the effects of man on the environment, especially the damage caused by pesticides.
Custodial history
Scope and content
The fonds consists of five scrapbooks which include correspondence, poetry and clippings. Incoming letters (1921-64) thank Murison for her gifts of poetry and also include some poetry. Some of the clippings pertain to her poetry while others relate to pesticide control (ca. 1965).
