  • Fonds
  • 1861-1972

The fonds consists of business records from the Anglo-British Columbia Packing Company and its American subsidiaries. Most of the records span the time 1891 to 1968. The majority of the records from the ABC Packing Company fall into three series: annual records, Advisory Board minutes and legal records. The records of the Fidalgo Island Packing Company are represented by three minute books covering the period from 1895 to 1964. There is also one bound minute book which documents five U.S. fishing companies which were owned by the Fidalgo Island Packing Company from 1910 to 1927.

Minute book: Anglo-B.C. Packing Company advisory board

File consists of a volume of manuscript minutes of meetings of the Vancouver-based operations advisory board of the Anglo-British Columbia Packing Company (ABC Packing). The advisory board was made up of managers of the various canneries owned by ABC Packing and appears to have been responsible for company-wide coordination of operations, including procurement, fixing prices paid for fish, renovation and/or expansion of individual canneries and other matters directly related to the operations of the canneries. The board was chaired by Henry Bell-Irving, who took the minutes, and the group met at the offices of the H. Bell-Irving Company Ltd.
