Series consists of a variety of material relating to Douglas's life at Channel Rock, her 135 acre waterfront homestead. Channel Rock was located on the outside of Gorge Harbour, directly across from Shark Spit on Marina Island. It had no road access and could be reached only by walking trail or boat. Douglas lived in a simple cabin overlooking the water with no electrical power, although she did have a telephone. Series includes the daily journal that her husband, Philip Major Douglas, kept during the year that he lived on Cortes prior to Douglas's arrival; household account statements from the early 1950s; lists and inventories of Douglas's library, photographs, research files and household items; a resumé of Douglas's long-time caretaker David Edwards; bills and receipts for household expenses; Christmas card and gift lists; records of egg, plant and vegetable sales; and garden records including plant lists, planting plans, annotated garden catalog pages and garden catalogs.
