Series documents the professional and personal activities of Minoru Kudo through his diaries and correspondence.
The series is divided into three subseries that correspond to how the materials were organized by the creators: the original diaries, original correspondence, and photocopies that were made for use in translation and for preservation purposes.
Records in this series include diaries; correspondence; and materials relating to the Kudo family’s involvement in the Japanese Canadian redress movement.

Series documents the work of Kathleen Kudo to translate Minoru Kudo’s diaries as well as the research performed by the Kudo family to document the history and experiences of the Mission City Japanese Community.

Records in this series include logs relating to the translation and photocopying activity of Kathleen Merken; her translation notes; additional documents related to ideas about publication and framing of the diaries and their historical value; and printed versions of the translations in various states of drafting. During the process of translation, Merken removed clippings and other ephemera that were initially preserved within the diaries of Minoru Kudo and placed them in their corresponding chronological place within the translations. As a result, these materials are also included within this series.

The series includes one subseries that contains the translation documents and a second that contains the research material.

The series contains photographic materials primarily originating during the Klondike Gold Rush at the turn of the 20th century. The photographs were generated as a result of the travels, mining endeavours, rapid development of towns and infrastructure in Alaska and the Yukon and Northwest Territories, and interactions of different cultures, including Indigenous peoples and settlers and stampeders from Canada, America, and around the world. Photographs in the series portray landscapes, mining scenes, portraits, travel scenes, town sites, community activities, and huge groups of stampeders on their way to the Klondike. Major photographic types include silver gelatin prints, cyanotypes, stereographs, panoramas, and prints. Photographs originated from commercial and well known photographers, such as E.A. Hegg and Asahel Curtis; many others were created by anonymous travellers who journeyed north and kept a photographic record of their journeys.

The 1858 Gold Rush on the Fraser River in British Columbia brought an influx of miners to the area, resulting in an economic boom for the colonies.
Following the end of the gold rush, however, came a time of financial strain in the 1860s and many individuals suffered personal financial loss. In 1862, a bankruptcy court was established as a formal structure to resolve insolvencies. Series includes documents related to the colonial bankruptcy court including adjudications, affidavits, declaration, deeds, notices, petitions, proofs of debt, receipts, report, statements of account, summons, and wills.

The Supreme Court of Civil Justice was originally established as the Inferior Court of Civil Justice in 1857 by Governor James Douglas to deal with the increasing number of petty claims in Victoria. The court was renamed in 1860. Series consists of records including writs, testimony, judgements, and other pertinent documents related to various cases. These records were produced by magistrates, defendants, claimants, and other relevant (and in some cases historically significant) parties including the first judge in BC, the first Attorney General, the earliest clergy, businessmen, and other prominent figures from this period in British Columbia's colonial history. The materials in this series represent a firsthand look at the business and legal proceedings from the colony's early justice system.
