love this. the open sumo competition at the Powell Street Fest every summer, which is very lighthearted and amateurish, is always one of the highlights of my summer.

Did you know? The #UnitedChurch once operated a home and school in #VictoriaBC for #Chinese and #Japanese girls and women. Today, many are surprised to learn this. Margery Hadley, a professional #archivist and member of #FirstMetropolitanUnitedChurch in Victoria, has recently completed a #digitization project that makes the images of the Oriental Home and School available online. It opens to us a now distant world and its concomitant issues.

#FirstMetArchives has been privileged to care for two important historical documents from the #OrientalHomeAndSchool. The first is the #ChineseRescueHome Advisory Committee minute book, 1896-1915. The second is the Oriental Home and School album, a fascinating assemblage of 95 photographs of the Oriental Home community, mainly between 1907 and 1916.

The Oriental Home and School album is now available online. It is part of First Met’s #historic #photographs digitization project that involved digital scanning and description of over 500 images from our #archival collections. These photographs are available to the public on #Flickr. The Oriental Home and School album is one of ten sets of First Met’s #HistoricalPhotographs available for public viewing.

First Met gratefully acknowledges the generous financial support of the #BritishColumbia #History #Digitization Program (2015), sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, #UBC.

Best part of this nomination is that it's for the Nathan Fong Award & our episode on culture created with a fave young people, Miss Maya & 1 of my greatest friends, Manami Calvo. Maya did all the planning on what we were making on the episode - pumpkin mochi.
