Date Range

Scope and Content
Series consists of family trees of Cortes Island settler families, with notes on related people and events. These trees are intended to help identify links between families on Cortes. Sources include online databases (e.g. Family Search.org, Ancestry.com and Canada Archives), CIMAS Archives and Information files, interviews and correspondence with family members. Families researched include: Aldrich; Barrett; Borden; Byers; Cafferata; Froud; Hawkins; Hayes, Ashford and Griffin; Heay; Manson; Marquette; Middleton; Nichols; Percival and Saunders; Petznick; Pickles; Smith; (Carr) Smith& Marflett; Tiber; Tooker; Valley.The family trees and notes are kept in a binder labelled "Cortes Family Trees Project", located above the public access computer in the May Ellingsen Archives Room. Files are not available online due to privacy concerns. We acknowledge that these trees are of white settler families and reflect colonization of ancestral homelands and displacement of the Indigenous Peoples who have thrived here for generations. We would welcome the opportunity to add those families to our records.

Date Range

Scope and Content
File contains two catalogs of the "Curiouser & Curiouser" exhibit in the Cortes Island Museum, 2019/2020, curated by Christian Gronau. Modelled loosely on the fabled cabinets, boxes, rooms and chambers of the Renaissance, this exhibition was an invitation to reawaken the unreserved and almost childlike interest and curiosity of age when Europeans shook off the shadows of the Dark Ages and awoke to the fascination of the external world. When people of intellect and time to spare went (for better and for worse) in search of adventure, discovery and illumination, to all the corners of the Earth. They came back with stories full of wonder and brought back specimens full of mystery and promise. Their curiosity changed forever the ways in which humans look upon the world.

Scope and Content
This series contains early film works of George Sirk, shot on 16mm and Super 8 film and digitized by Doug McCaffry, of ScanLab, in 2022. Films include Cortes Island short films, two feature documentaries, and two longer films shot in Australia. They were shown at a film festival presented by Cortes Cinema and the Cortes Island Museum on July 17, 2022: "Out of the Archives: The Early Film works of George Sirk". From the program notes: "George's films showcase a snapshot - in moving pictures - of some madcap antics, dramatization, and documentaries of life on Cortes during that period [1975-1981] and were inspired by the great humourists of silent film; Chaplin, Keaton and Jacques Tati (Monsieur Hulot), and likewise delight in stitching reality. Mostly shot in sequentially edited (in the camera, like the great film makers mentioned), rehearsals were key to smooth transitions and conserved valuable film stock."
