Subseries contains files from various small Specific Research Institute projects conducted by Anna Banana, between 1993 and 2015. Many of these were small surveys of “Banana Culture” which Banana carried out while she was staying in certain regions or cities, as well as newsletters and updates regarding SRI activities.

Files are made up of textual records, mostly newsletters or reports, as well as some posters and response forms.

In 2015, Anna gave away all of her banana items in an interactive event called “Regifting Bananas.” Each giveaway was accompanied by documentation of what was given away, and to whom. There was also an inventory of banana items for regifting.

Subseries consists of textual records, mainly the inventory and records of regifting.

Subseries is made up of various “One of a Kind Books”, which are small artist books, published between 2006 and 2008. Also included in this series are small edition books authored and published by Anna Banana between 1986 and 2012, as these were filed alongside the “One Of a Kind Books”. Project files include handmade books, binders, and tiny published books.

Subseries is made up of publications collected by Anna Banana, especially books and catalogs, pertaining to exhibitions and collections of artists’ work. Banana’s involvement with the Mail Art Network often included showing her own work all over Europe and North America, by sending mail art, artistamps, drawings and other works to invitational shows and exhibits. Most of those shows in which she partook are noted with small bookmarks, often in yellow, showing those pages where her work is referenced, although not all of the files in this series pertain to her, or even the mail art network. This subseries spans across genres.

Subseries includes exhibition catalogues, publications relating to specific exhibitions, catalogues by artists, product catalogues, directories, some mail art projects which resulted in an exhibit or show, books published in tandem with an exhibit, as well as documentation about invitational shows or competitions. Banana did not distinguish between any of these items and generally categorized them under “Exhibit Catalogs,” “Mail Art Catalogs” or “Artist Catalogs.” The distinction between the items in this subseries and those of Books or Zines often seem superfluous and depend greatly on the whims of Banana’s own boxing system.

Subseries consists of compiled assessment mechanisms for the SSCA, including surveys and questionnaires.

British Columbia’s 34th General Election took place on October 22nd, 1986. Prior to the election, the BC New Democratic Party held 22 seats in the Legislature; under the leadership of Bob Skelly, the Party fielded a full 69 candidates for the 1986 general election, emerging yet again with 22 seats, and approximately 42.6% of the popular vote. The incumbent Social Credit party, now under the leadership of Bill Vander Zalm, took the remaining 47 seats and returned to power. The next general election in British Columbia was not held until 1991.

Records in this subseries include candidate biographical statements and photographs, campaign literature and public communications, correspondence, drafts, memos, media and campaign strategy documents, committee reports and minutes, and other related materials. These records appear to have been predominantly created by Gerry Scott, Provincial secretary, or in some cases, Soren Bech, Director of Communications.

Records in this series relate to the British Columbia NDP's activities in support of the 1993 federal election.

The 35th Canadian federal general election was held on October 25, 1993. During this time, the BC NDP Central Office became an organizing hub for regional campaigns, with BC candidates running for 32 federal seats in the election. However, the Federal NDP party, under the leadership of Audrey McLaughlin, fared poorly in the 1993 election, securing only 9 seats. This was reflected in British Columbia, where all but two of the Federal NDP MP's lost their seats. The next federal election did not occur until 1997.

Records in this series have been predominantly created by Jim Kirk, Director of Communications (files 407-04 to 408-10). Files 408-11 to 409-05 were located in the Executive Secretary's office at the time of appraisal, though their creator is uncertain; file 409-05 appears to have been created by Sherry Hyde, Director of Administration.

Records include correspondence, memos, policy and strategy documents, public communications, campaign advertisements and media scripts, clippings, pamphlets, polls, minutes, meeting agendas, and other related materials.

Records in this series relate to provincial NDP activities in support of the 1997 Federal Election, called on April 26, 1997, and held on June 2, 1997. The federal NDP, under the leadership of Alexa McDonough, managed to regain official party status (lost after securing only 9 seats in the 1993 federal election) by winning 21 seats. The next federal election was not held until 2000.

In British Columbia, former Provincial Secretary Gerry Scott was engaged as the BC Campaign Manager, and current Provincial Secretary Brian Gardiner joined the Communications Working Group of the Elections Planning Committee (EPC). These records appear to have been created by Brian Gardiner, Provincial Secretary, and include public communications, memoranda, messaging documents, newsletters, candidate biographies, correspondence, reports, polls, and other related materials.

Records in this subseries relate to BC NDP activity surrounding the 37th provincial general election in BC, held on May 16, 2001. Though the Party ran a full slate of 79 candidates in the 2001 election, the BC NDP’s public perception was still suffering as a result of the media-dubbed “Bingogate scandal” which had led to Glen Clark’s resignation as Premier in August of 1999. Under the leadership of Ujjal Dosanjh, the former Attorney General of BC who had successfully won the NDP leadership race in February of 2000, the New Democratic Party succeeded in retaining only 2 of their previous 39 seats in the provincial legislature, those of incumbents Joy McPhail (Vancouver-Hastings) and Jenny Kwan (Vancouver-Mount Pleasant). The BC Liberals, under the leadership of former Vancouver mayor Gordon Campbell, won the remaining 77 seats. The next provincial election was not held until 2005.

The records in this series were received by RBSC in one box; though their contents suggest multiple individual creators, it is difficult to determine at a file-by-file level which files were created by whom. Based on an examination of the contents of the files and notes supplied by the appraising archivist, the likely creators of these files are Ed Lavalle, Provincial Secretary and Acting Campaign Manager for the 2001 election, and either the Director of Communications or David Bieber, Communications Officer for the BC NDP.

Materials in this subseries include correspondence, polls, candidate nomination materials, public communications, campaign literature, media clippings, notes, meeting agendas and minutes, candidate biographies and photographs, financial documents, and other related materials. Certain items not directly related to the election were intermingled with loose materials discovered in the box; they have been left in their received order and can be found in file 415-01.

Sub-series consists of general and editorial correspondence and postcards received at Pulp Press from 1973 to 1978. Files are arranged in chronological order. “in” refers to letters received, “out” to those sent. “in/out” indicates that letters received and copies of those sent are filed together.

typescripts unless otherwise noted
