Series consists of issues of "The Log", a bimonthly publication of the Columbia Coast Mission of the Anglican Church. These copies of "The Log" have been extensively annotated by Douglas and contain some articles written by her. The articles and photographs in these publications provide a lively picture of coastal life during this period.
The Columbia Coast Mission (CCM) was founded in 1915 by the Rev. John Antle, with a mandate to minister to the physical, spiritual and social needs of the residents of the remote areas of coastal British Columbia. From 1944 to 1961 the CCM had a base in Whaletown from which the patrol boat "Rendezvous" visited the isolated communities and settlers of Cortes and neighboring islands. Douglas made some trips with CCM patrol boats in the early 1950s and wrote articles about the CCM for "The Log" and other periodicals.
