2 Whatrsquos inSight Summer 2014

What would a museum be if it did not collaborate with its communities the royal bc Museum is building partnerships to amplify our stories and bring the collections and archives in front of a global audience this issue of Whatrsquos insight showcases some of these new efforts

on June 21 the royal bc Museum and our partner the First Peoplesrsquo cultural council will open a new exhibition Our Living Languages First Peoplesrsquo Voices in BC on the top floor of the museum

this groundbreaking interactive exhibition celebrates the resilience and diversity of First nations languages in bc in the face of change take this opportunity to learn what First nations communities throughout the province are doing to help their languages survive and flourish in this evocative new gallery

We have also partnered with Aboriginal tourism bc for our first annual Aboriginal cultural Festival the festival will be held on our campus and thunderbird Park we hope creating a celebratory atmosphere with sound stages performances arts and traditional food

i recently returned from a fascinating trip to china We will be initiating a number of international partnerships with museums in suzhou and nanjing and further developing existing relationships with colleagues in beijing Hong Kong and guangzhou the purpose is to begin to look outwards and to forge relationships that can serve us in years to come

As suzhou is twinned with victoria and guangzhou with vancouver we will be exploring how we can give new meaning to such city to city relationships

our work is enriched by your support and i would like to extend my personal gratitude for your ongoing commitment to us All our staff and volunteers greatly appreciate the support and dedication provided by our donors sponsors partners and members i look forward to evolving the definition of collaboration in terms of the royal bc Museum with you as a dedicated member i look forward to seeing you soon at the museum again

Yours

Catch and Collect Preserve and Protectby gavin Hanke curator vertebrate Zoology

Jaws from our latest whale arrived during the last week of February

2014 they came from the carcass of a Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) which died and later resurfaced underneath an aquaculture pen in ross Passage about 21 kilometres northwest of tofino i can imagine that the whale was a bit of a shock to the staff of the aquaculture facility After the whale was towed to a beach and examined by researchers from the Department of Fisheries and oceans we arranged to have its skeleton cleaned by Mike deroos of cetacea contracting for the royal bc Museum research collection i think most people would understand the excitement about receiving a new whale skeleton but this one is special the royal bc Museum has isolated leg bones of a Humpback as well as foetal specimens in

alcohol but this is our first complete Humpback Whale skeleton this skeleton is a significant addition to the research collection because it is the first whale in many years As you can imagine there are many reasons a museum would not be able to receive something as large as a whale 1) it is difficult to prepare something this large 2) whales may wash up in remote areas making recovery prohibitively expensive and 3) whale carcasses sometimes are protected for cultural reasons but if another Humpback turned up irsquod gladly acquire it for our research collection the same goes for Killer Whales or Harbour Porpoises even though we have several already

People regularly ask me ldquoWhy do you need another insert species name hererdquo the answer is simple ndash diversity Diversity permeates all life ndash no two organisms are identical

this diversity is the raw material which was filtered by evolution to produce the bewildering array of life as we know it

biological diversity is everywhere Walk down the street look at your neighbours Are they all the same Are they the same age height weight gender race Did they eat the same thing for breakfast Are any diseased or showing signs of trauma some may have piercings some have tattoos some have both even identical twins differ look at any drawer in the natural History collection and yoursquoll see organismal variation (but not piercings and tattoos)

in biology all specimens are unique regardless of species At a quick glance all threespine sticklebacks look alike look closer and you will discover variation between

1 Humpback Whale flensing researchers and staff work to clean the

washed up carcass to be added to the royal bc Museum collection

2 Threespine Sticklebacks three samples from the collection each

with unique variations

3 American Robin one of the 301 in the collection

researchers have examined variation in rodents to hone their identification skills and we have sent umatilla Dace to ottawa so that researchers can confirm variation across the speciesrsquo range

charles Darwin collected specimens but had no idea how scientists would analyse skins and skeletons in 2014 like early explorers i have no idea what will be needed for future research We keep specimens according to standard museum practices and hope future researchers will find ways to use the material in their research Perhaps the glaucous-winged gull will be the next ldquocanaryrdquo for the urban coal mine in recent years a study of tissue chemistry from specimens showed when gull diets changed from natural items to garbage gull tissues may prove invaluable to

specimens some of the variation is obvious (ie some lack pelvic fins or armour)

evolution works by natural selection on variable traits some individuals have a fortuitous set of traits that promote survival and reproduction other individuals fail for one reason or another variation occurs through time and over a speciesrsquo range rates of change differ between regions For the threespine stickleback change can be rapid in small isolated coastal lakes but almost undetectable in the coastal marine population the lack of variation within coastal marine stickleback and greater variation within freshwater lake populations shows where gene flow occurs increased gene flow homogenises populations - reduced gene flow can amplify evolutionary trends in isolated populations We study

variation to understand boundaries between species and geographic patterns within species variation is the reason why museums need many specimens for research and why we collect as much as we can as often as we can the royal bc Museum has 196 ldquolotsrdquo of threespine stickleback - with any ldquolotrdquo containing one or more specimens extrapolate that to over 16000 lots of fishes and you get an idea of the size of the ichthyology collection alone

At a museum you can examine specimens collected yesterday a year ago or 100 years ago since 2012 we have received five American robins to add to the 296 already in the research collection our first lot of 36 was collected 126 years ago

the royal bc Museum provides you a biological time machine ndash i am sure human history staff feel the same about their material instead of only having information from the present you have information on species through time and across geographical regions As the curator of vertebrate zoology i donrsquot shoot birds and mammals or trap mammals like early explorers did nature is under enough pressure with urban encroachment and pollution i accept many specimens each year - even common species some come from accidental deaths - road-kills window kills by-catch or from researchers with a specific project

the royal bc Museum receives many specimens each year with a focus on british columbia and its immediate neighbours Already in 2014

document changing pollution levels on this continent irsquod better collect more gulls

today with the pace of urban and industrial sprawl the study of nature has taken on new urgency With the royal bc Museum research collection you can look at animals and plants collected prior to the invention of plastic You can try to see when traces of minute plastic particles appeared in plankton-feeding animals or maybe you want to examine the skin of amphibians to see when chytridiomycosis arrived in

bc researchers may want to study the range of dietary items over the entire range of a species - and look at specimens from 50 years ago to see if a speciesrsquo diet has changed Perhaps someone would want to study anatomical changes as fish grow or compare the number of eggs females produce across the range of a species Who knew that preserved animals would be used in such ways the potential topics for museum research are staggering yet many in our population have no idea that museums support research

the multidimensional foresight needed to save material for future study is almost entirely unique to museum staff ndash it is part of our culture to many our thoughts and behaviours must look scattered or disorganised sometimes we are accused of being packrats i counter that accusation with the fact that i have 296 packrats in the mammalogy collection and since i can account for variation in Neotoma cinereus i can honestly state that i do not resemble a packrat try do that without a reference collection

this spotted bat (Euderma maculatum) from the okanagan represents the northern-most specimen in north

American museums


there are over seven million objects in the royal bc Museum

collection from the big ndash full whale skeletons and a rolls royce ndash to the small ndash bugs and thimbles galore the vast majority of these collections are never on display this summer the museum and archiversquos doors will be thrown open and a rare glimpse at the highlights of the collection will be offered through a new website featuring a selection of the rare interesting significant and amazing pieces from the royal bc Museum

experts from all departments have peered into cabinets looked through

drawers and racked their brains submitting their top collection lists From this long list we have narrowed down 100 items this distillation from our collection isnrsquot necessarily the top historical or scientific items they arenrsquot always the prettiest ndash in fact some are downright ugly ndash but they are all significant in their right And many have fascinating stories coming to the royal bc Museum in ways you wouldnrsquot imagine the list includes giant squids a handbook to gold a spider named after a motorcycle the first marriage license treasures from bcrsquos favourite artist a rare First nations mask

and even a hockey stick the online collection will offer insight into the history of the province

A Gallery Intervention by Janet MacDonald Head of learning

the royal bc Museumrsquos script the original exhibition text found

on panels and labels throughout the permanent galleries is now 50 years old

Prof Jack lohman the royal bc Museum ceo has expressed how essential it is to refresh this narrative just ldquoas you would update any text book of that agerdquo With this in mind the royal bc Museum has begun to review the core scripts and text with an eye to revise key messages and to increase the enjoyment and the potential for learning for all our visitors Phase i of this initiative began this spring with the natural History gallery

The Role of Text and a Team Approachchoosing an appropriate writer for the task was the first crucial step We found in Maleea Acker environmental journalist and local author an innate sensibility for the natural world Her writing style from examples of her published work aligned perfectly with the communication style we were after she joined our re-scripting team for the month of April and together with lead curator Dr Ken Marr curator of botany senior designer Ken Johnson and members of our learning staff we conducted a series of walkthroughs with all natural history

curators and collections managers their combined disciplinary expertise allowed us to look at the gallery in a holistic manner and capture the accuracy of the main narrative

As a starting point we acknowledged the importance of the written word in communicating main themes and key messages According to Maleea ldquotext forms a unifying reference point for our visitors as they travel through a variety of displays and exceptional dioramasrdquo such stunning environments can sometimes leave you visually distracted inside the story

Cool New Fossil Techour ability to properly prepare

fossil material for the collection has increased our collection Manager in Palaeontology Marji Johns has been busy outfitting a portion of the vertebrate lab on the main floor of the Fannin building to accommodate some heavy duty fossil prepping equipment Fossil material is often collected in the form of a matrix of rock containing one or many fossil representations Preparation of a macrofossil allows details to be revealed which are needed for identification and research some of the removed matrix can be chemically treated to recover microscopic fossils study and research on both macro- and microfossils can lead to a better understanding of past environments climates and the geologic history of an area removal of the matrix can reveal an exquisite fossil that may be exhibit quality Plus the reduction in matrix can allow for more efficient storage in the collection for both space and weight

now donrsquot take Jackrsquos analogy of the textbook literally We do not mean to put a book on the wall However there were important re-scripting considerations to keep in mind so many in fact that a text strategy was implemented We committed to acknowledging the myriad of visitor learning styles with an intention to accommodate as many of you as possible the text would be concise accessible and layered ndash the first layer being the most accessible and carrying the main message and subsequent layers providing progressively detailed information for those who want it Most importantly style is everything the writing would be engaging direct and conversational in a tone encouraging questioning and reflection

Getting it Writeto make a long story short we arrived at a stage in the process where the team felt comfortable with the content intent and the conversational aspects of the written words but ultimately true success would rely on whether the text resonated with you our visiting public And so we asked on sunday afternoon April 27 we orchestrated a testing session our seven lsquochapter headingsrsquo were produced in the form of text on paper mock-ups positioned strategically throughout the gallery each headline panel introduced a particular exhibit to visitors as they entered the environment

With the help of a team of volunteers we were able to assess our ability to communicate and engage people the results were fascinating and instructive comments ranged from an appreciation for the larger print type to questions regarding grammatical composition and use of analogies People of all ages time and again expressed their appreciation for being asked their opinion and many more felt that the signs made them think more deeply about what they were looking at

As i write this article the revised script is now in the hands of our trusted design team ndash who will turn our collaborative work into reality We will hang the script for your reading pleasure in June i encourage you to let us know what you think letrsquos not have another 50 years pass before the next revision

25 million year old whale vertebrae found on the west coast of vancouver island by steve suntok

treasures come to us in many different artifacts and specimens

today i introduce to you a human treasure victoria lawyer fossil enthusiast and royal bc Museum volunteer steve suntok steve came to us in the late summer of 2013 with an amazing fossil discovery He had found a rare bird bone from the west coast of vancouver island it is only the second fossil of its kind found in these rocks ndash the first find was over 120 years ago bird bones do not preserve well because they are thin and hollow an adaptation for flight

steve had heard from his fossil enthusiast friends that bird expert gary Kaiser was volunteering at the museum and archives gary identified this fossil as a tibiotarsus leg bone from a cormorant-like bird to make the identification he had carefully inspected the royal bc Museumrsquos modern bird research collections

volunteer ProFile

Steve Suntok by Marji Johns collections Manager Palaeontology

due to weathering damage and disintegration He selects specimens that are scientifically significant or recently exposed by erosion but are well preserved Fossils that are discerned as important but too large to transport are photographed and brought to the attention of experts collected specimens include location labels that are also numbered and recorded in a book For important specimens steve learns about them through readings by collaborating with experts and research through local palaeontology societies or volunteering at a museum

After documenting and donating many important specimens to the royal bc Museum such as whale vertebrae ribs teeth rare ammonites nautiloids crustaceans (crabs and lobsters) and unusual plant fossils steve also has helped unwrap document label and enter data for hundreds of other fossil specimens that were recently donated He has assisted with collections moves and the set up of palaeo lab equipment

there are many other volunteers participating in projects matched to their skills and interests they are all indispensable to the advancements of the palaeo collections at the museum and archives For them making contributions and learning are valued and we all enjoy developing friendships and gaining new experiences

other museum collections and scrutinized palaeontology research literature

gary and i were joking and with twinkles in our eyes said to steve ldquoHow about finding us anotherrdquo steve and his family (daughter leah and son graham) not only found another fossil tibiotarsus but also came back with an even rarer and new fossil bird bone from the site the last was in a 45 kg slab talus block that had fallen from the cliff and into the tidal zone it had been found by leah the block could not be easily downsized at the beach so steve carried it 5 kilometers out this rare bone will probably be a new species We know from previous research at the site that the fossil is about 25 million years old When gary Kaiserrsquos research is published you will be hearing more about this exciting find

steve has become an inspiring steward for bc palaeontology He has gained new knowledge about fossils and collections and this has led to important donations of other rare fossils for research and learning He did keep a few less important specimens for his familyrsquos enjoyment including fossils that connect them with memorable experiences of the day

steve collects responsibly meaning his discoveries mostly come from surface collection of fossils that are at greatest risk for being lost


A Fossil Hunting Adventure

After gazing-up and eyeing a prize eroding out of a waterfall

cliff i knew i had to have this fossil before mother nature swept it away i found myself 20 feet up a steep cliff under an overhang with a water pool below i tried climbing up but instead went for a dive and unexpected swim in January

on the next trip i tried climbing down with ropes got stuck cut myself loose to get down went for a second swim once again during a season best reserved for skiing and snowshoeing

Determined (my wife says obsessed) i welded a fire poker to a steel pipe but the poker broke off and it went

by steve suntok royal bc Museum volunteer amp donor

for a swim the next time i built a rope ladder and climbed to the top to hang it As i started to climb down the boards i was using for rungs broke ndash my third swim

next i went all out and bought a telescoping ladder i chose a 25 pound version because it was a long steep hike through the bush to get to the site the ladder was too short i went home empty-handed

i went and purchased a taller ladder on the plus side it was 22 feet high on the negative side it weighed 40 pounds and was difficult to haul A friend held the ladder steady and after an hour of carefully chipping away at rock the fossil was free i

caught it with my one free hand and now it sits proudly in my office it is a great ammonite but the memories make it all the better

i love fossil hunting in british columbia itrsquos cool that we can hold in our hands the remains of ancient life from millions of years ago i find that vancouver island is one of the most beautiful places on earth the scenery irsquove seen is by itself worth the effort and that you can find fossils while you are out there ndash that is a great bonus i love adventure and learning and i have met many awesome diverse interesting and kind people during these outings

of her manuscripts Many years after Dilworthrsquos death this distillation of a lifersquos work became one of several nuclei of the carr collections entrusted to the care of the bc Archives

the other groups of royal bc Museum carr collections centre around a large body of her artworks (mainly from the period preceding 1927 but including some important mature works) carr-related artifacts and archival and library records created by her peers and scholars the carr collections hold a number of surprises some of carrrsquos pottery pieces several of her hooked rugs and artifacts including First

Peoplersquos-crafted souvenir items purchased in 1907 and an articulated wooden doll that pops up in various carr sketches cartoons and in a documentary photograph of carrrsquos studio taken shortly after her death

While carrrsquos works are cared for and exhibited in over 35 public galleries museums and institutions and treasured in countless private collections world-wide the largest collection of carrrsquos career output is stewarded by the royal bc Museum Much of it can be consulted on a daily basis in the archives or by appointment this year the royal bc Museum is enhancing understanding of this rich legacy through a web

Upon her death in 1945 the Province of BC purchased seven major Carr paintings including Tanoo (see accompanying figure) Artistic executor Lawren Harris selected 170 works from hundreds remaining in Carrrsquos home for the Emily Carr Trust Collection (now housed in the Vancouver Art Gallery and the National Gallery) Many works from her ldquoFrench Periodrdquo and watercolours were identified for sale to support this Trust Still others were set aside for destruction though many were salvaged and eventually made their way to the BC Archives Like so many prolific artists Carr had already given many works away and destroyed many more considered by her unworthy of retention

Today the Royal BC Museum holds the majority of Carrrsquos artistic literary and personal output Carrrsquos personal and professional archives over 1100 works of art Carrrsquos publications and publications about her and her art key photographs interviews and documentaries The works of art total 1112 items Approximately 900 of these are on paper primarily images in sketch books Approximately 200 are major paintings - oil on canvas oil on board or paper and watercolour on paper Also included are 24

representative pieces of pottery that Carr produced in large numbers for sale and several examples of the hooked rugs she used throughout her home and bestowed as gifts

The Emily Carr fonds (the unpublished archival records created and accumulated by Carr between 1879 and 1945) occupy 23 linear metres of shelf space and consist of correspondence journals manuscripts notebooks scrapbooks publications annotated by the artist financial records photographs and paintings

Records pertaining to Carr in other fonds occupy a further 16 linear metres of textual records In particular the records of the following are rich in detail about Carr Edythe Hembroff-Schleicher Flora Burns Humphrey Toms the Newcombe family and Richard Carr 55 sound recordings contain interviews and radio programs about Carr and 14 moving image records contain documentaries interviews and TV programs Our holdings include 10 works of art by other artists pertaining to Carr Of particular interest are 60 photographs of or pertaining to the artistwriter mainly formal portraits and candid shots depicting her with her art her treasured pets and close friends They also depict Carr family members studio interiors her various homes and colleagues

Carrrsquos published writings in various editions total 59 items and in 167 other publications Carr is the principle subject discussed

The Archives has constructed 16 linear centimetres of artist files pertaining to Emily Carr and artcraft works of Carrrsquos sisters The files include exhibit programmes auction information articles correspondence lists and images The Royal BC Museum holds extensive records pertaining to the Emily Carr Gallery that used to be on Wharf Street in Victoria its facility and program and Carr family home as a heritage building and site

We arenrsquot doing this alone on behalf of our members and community partners we are working to place the right tools in the hands of individuals and organizations working to make our world a better place

We seek to invest in and work closely with organizations and sectors that

Wersquore pleased the royal bc Museum has partnered with the First Peoplesrsquo cultural council on the Our Living Languages exhibition and Aboriginal tourism bc on the Aboriginal cultural Festival 2014 We can accomplish more when we work together

check out vancityrsquos online Annual report at vancitycom2013Annual report for more information on how we are working to build healthy communities

visit vancitycomaboriginalcommunities to learn more about how we are investing in Aboriginal communities to achieve economic strength and independence

we feel have the potential for high positive community impact aligned with our three guiding principles ndash social justice and financial inclusion environmental sustainability and co-operative principles and practices

our partnership with the royal bc Museum is an example of this approach in our work with Aboriginal communities in the coast salish territories where we do business and through our partnership with reconciliation canada we better understand the importance of dialogue and the need for all of us to gain more knowledge about the First Peoples We have much to learn about the history of our land and its people and the importance of language and culture as roots of identity pride and self awareness


it wasnrsquot designed to be an emotional touchpoint but sometimes people

respond in surprising ways to details in the royal bc Museum Well before the Our Living Languages First Peoplesrsquo Voices in BC exhibition was due to open when patches of carpet were tagged with green painterrsquos tape and the drywall mud was still damp bobbilee copeland walked through the exhibition space

it wasnrsquot completely empty one of the exhibitionrsquos first elements to be erected were 17 towering double-sided pylons clad in colourful paint and bearing the names of the 34 First nations languages that are indigenous to british columbia ndash what will become known as the ldquolanguage Forestrdquo

copeland ndash coordinator of the language revitalization program at the university of victoria ndash was visiting the royal bc Museum to discuss potential partnerships aligned with indigenous languages

and the museum and archivesrsquo learning programs and was touring the unfinished exhibition space she stopped in mid-stride when she saw her own language written on one of the pylons then walked over and gave the metal ldquotreerdquo a long hug

For staff at the royal bc Museum this was an unanticipated sight but also a welcome affirmation that the exhibition was going to have deep meaning for many visitors

ldquoBobbileersquos spontaneous gesture was overwhelmingly powerful In that instant I realized how important this exhibition was to her and all the champions of language revitalization the lsquotreersquo such a tangible representation of the intangible fragility of languagerdquo

Janet MacDonald the royal bc Museumrsquos Head of learning

and visitor engagement experience

it was a gratifying moment for all involved in the planning and design of the exhibition language is a powerful potent marker of identity and culture think about the emotional resonance of the term ldquomother tonguerdquo ndash the languages we grow up with are our kin nourishment and birthright

so the revitalization of languages in bcrsquos First nations communities is bound to stir up feelings of pride loss pain and joy the Our Living Languages exhibition aims to tell the stories of how languages have been nearly-lost and newly awakened and illustrate the success stories of language diversity and revitalization throughout bc

telling these stories has been a deeply collaborative project the royal bc Museum has relied upon the expertise of its partner the First Peoplesrsquo cultural council to shape the narrative provide content and advice on cultural matters

Our Living Languages A Beautiful Collaborationby erik lamberston corporate communications officer

transmission of traditional knowledge at Kaska language camp


the royal bc Museumrsquos job has been to find the compelling way to communicate the messages through design the two organizations chose to partner closely as they fine-tune details about design development orthography marketing ndash virtually every aspect of the exhibition

ldquoWe are honoured to be part of creation this important exhibition First Nations language speakers are the true experts when it comes to describing and sharing information about their languages By involving them in the development process we hope to create an experience that is both authentic and meaningful for visitors to the museumrdquo

lorna Williams chair of the First Peoplesrsquo cultural council

in fact the theme of co-mingled multiple perspectives has become

a sub-theme of the exhibition itself For example one of the successes of the exhibition is how well it integrates oral and aural experiences with our other senses visitors often expect museum-going to be a primarily visual experience but Our Living Languages is about language transmission a fundamentally spoken activity

And the truth is that contemporary innovative places like the royal bc Museum are increasingly interactive and multi-sensory so Our Living Language rsquos audio messages are supported through visually-interesting video content and tactile details that are rooted in First nations culture

take the cradleboard theatre ndash a small and intimate space that will replicate a cedar root basket inside visitors will be cocooned in soothing First nations languages and lullabies for an immersive experience the idea came from cultural advisors and the medium was designed and fabricated by the royal bc Museumrsquos exhibition arts team

the cradleboard theatre is just one element of the innovative multi-sensory exhibition the

language forest will ldquospeakrdquo as visitors approach each ldquotreerdquo wired with motion sensors A theatre space a rounded counterpoint to the forest spires will be animated by presenters who will add a live dimension to this human story

Our Living Languages will open on saturday June 21 ndash national Aboriginal Day the royal bc Museum will be a celebratory space that weekend with Aboriginal tourism bc hosting the Aboriginal cultural Festival June 19-21 enlivening the campus outside (see page 16 for details) and this collaborative exhibition drawing new eyes ndash and ears ndash to the fascinating and moving story of language diversity and revitalization in bcrsquos First nations communities


From June 19 to 21 victoria will host the 2014 Aboriginal cultural

Festival highlighting and celebrating the regionrsquos rich indigenous culture through storytelling artisans dance song and food

created in partnership with Aboriginal tourism bc (Atbc) the esquimalt and songhees nations the royal bc Museum tourism victoria robert bateman centre greater victoria Harbour Authority and First Peoplesrsquo cultural council the festival will take place on the outdoor campus of the royal bc Museum and around victoriarsquos inner Harbour

Global Plants Initiativeby Dr erica Wheeler botany collections Manager collections care amp conservation

tYPe sPeciMen = the particular specimen of an organism to which the scientific name of that organism is formally attached

The Global Plants Initiativethe royal bc Museum has recently become a partner in the global Plants initiative (gPi) gPi is a collaborative effort among herbaria to make digital images of all botany tYPe sPeciMens available to researchers via access to a centralized repository this repository currently holds over 18 million high resolution images of tYPe sPeciMens contributed by over 270 herbaria from more than 70 countries gPi is funded by the Andrew W Mellon Foundation the image repository is housed and accessed electronically through (Journal storage) Jstor

the royal bc Museum herbarium houses over 80 tYPe sPeciMens that will be included in this important digitization effort

Describing and naming new species of plantsover 400000 species of plants are known to science that is to say more than 400000 species have been formally described and named by taxonomic experts Describing and naming new species is often slow and can be a complicated process A recent study reported that it takes an

average of 21 years from the date a taxonomist spots something new to science to the date the new name is officially recognized two things are required

the new name and a formal latin description must be validly published and

tYPe sPeciMens must be designated and deposited in a publicly accessible herbarium

During the time that a plant taxonomist is doing the work required to describe a new species they collect and preserve specimens for study the main goal of their study is to describe it in very precise terms in particular how does this new species differ from other related species Are the petals a different colour Are the tiny hairs on the underside of the leaves a different shape is this new species found in markedly different habitats than other closely related species

After the author has described and chosen a name for the new species tYPe sPeciMens are designated from the study material tYPe sPeciMens are the particular specimens to which the scientific name of the new species is formally attached because these are of great importance to the science of documenting biodiversity more

than one tYPe sPeciMen is often designated and these are distributed among different herbaria for safe-keeping in the event that one tYPe sPeciMen is destroyed or lost the others will still be available for study

there are at least seven categories of tYPe sPeciMens but HolotYPes and isotYPes are the most important

HolotYPe the single specimen designated by the author at the time of publication as the specimen upon which the description and name is based

isotYPe any specimen collected on the same date and from the same location as the specimen that is designated as the HolotYPe

Roemerrsquos fescuein 1983 royal bc Museum botany curator Dr leon Pavlick described and published the name of a new variety of grass commonly known as `roemerrsquos fescuersquo the scientific name for this grass is Festuca idahoensis elmer var roemeri Pavlick names often describe a notable characteristic of a species or sometimes recognize the person who first discovered the new species roemerrsquos fescue was named after Dr Hans roemer a well-known bc botanist who made some of the early collections of this grass


in the royal bc Museum herbarium we store the HolotYPe of Festuca idahoensis elmer var roemeri Pavlick in a special cabinet reserved for such important specimens High resolution images of this specimen and images of other tYPe sPeciMens in the botany collection will soon be available to researchers around the world via the Jstor repository Access to these images will facilitate global biodiversity research the royal bc Museum herbarium is thrilled to contribute to this effort


the Artists in Residence program began in september

of 2013 three artists ndash Aimee van Drimmelen lindsay Delaronde and garth gaudin ndash were selected to take part in the inaugural season of this project in addition to their involvement in events throughout the programming year every two weeks they visit different collections areas of the museum and archives the work they create chronicles both the extraordinary collections and the important work being done by staff and volunteers to maintain collections

Artists Get Inspired by the Collectionby chris orsquoconnor schools amp Family learning team lead

the artists are allowed to go behind the scenes and explore the collections Aimee dived into the botany collection which houses over 215000 specimens made up primarily of native and introduced plant species found in british columbia Most specimens are gathered pressed and affixed to cardstock that is marked with collection data for future reference the specimens are then stacked in folders bagged and stored in lockers the earliest specimen in botany is currently lichen collected in 1889

royal bc Museum volunteer Daniela toriola was helping prepare some new specimen sheets on the day the artists visited she carefully arranged the pressed plants gluing them onto the page with assorted metal weights to hold them down until they dried Daniela noted that she always tries to make the presentation as beautiful as possible it takes a lot of creativity to prepare specimens Whether itrsquos taxidermy

scientific drawings or the placement of sea creatures in a jar a lot of care is taken to make things visually appealing the preservation team takes pride in their work knowing that the collections will be looked upon for years to come

on her visit Aimee used a ldquospill saferdquo ink jar the ink mixed with water was perfect for capturing the transparency of leaves and petals and the dark curly roots she used a couple drops of water to wet her brush and introduced ink with a brush pen

A closer looK

A Vice-Regal Mysteryby Dr lorne Hammond senior History curator amp colleen Wilson textile conservator

our story began when i was contacted by a donor who

wondered if the royal bc Museum would be interested in a donation of an unusual uniform the uniform included an ornate gold-threaded jacket and a feathered bicorn hat embroidered with the initials ldquot Mc rrdquo could this uniform have belonged to a Premier or a lieutenant-general of british columbia

Where did it come from in 1946 young ldquotuckrdquo Hutch was asked to clean out the sub-basement of an old vancouver hotel and get rid of its contents in a rusty abandoned box he found a gold sword a gold-threaded uniform and a feathered bicorn hat Fascinated he took it home and posed in it His girlfriend (who later became his wife) their friends and later tuckrsquos grandchildren wore it for costume parties

the uniform had modifications some gold brocade was cut off and changes were tried and abandoned the hatrsquos feathers proved too brittle for use in a bridersquos hair ornament and broke generations of the family posed in and loaned the garment as seen in many of the photographs the family have shared with me

From emails i studied the digital images i began investigating the mystery of whose garment it was no it was not Premier Mcbridersquos as i learned he had no middle initial

We had a real mystery i had a suspicion but no proof i explained my idea to the family and we received a wonderful and very kind donation to our collection of the uniform that the family had cherished for over half a century the family privately published a book about this story and donated a copy to us a first in my experience

research took me to a guide on londonrsquos military button makers contracts changed constantly and makers often moved but most put their name and address on the back of the ornate buttons i soon had a five year window the hat had initials they might be those of the Hon thomas robert Mcinnes (1840-1904) i checked official photographs for the embroidered chest patterns which also vary a great deal i found a possible match Digging deeper i learned that Mcinnes and his family lost almost everything when fire destroyed government House in May 1899 Accounts tell us a staff member rushed in and tossed his vice-regal uniform out a second storey window at no small risk the garment bag we had did indeed have smoke stains

born in nova scotia the Hon thomas robert Mcinnes was a Harvard educated physician who

practiced at the royal columbia Hospital in new Westminster Appointed by Prime Minister John A McDonald to the senate he later became our sixth lieutenant-governor (1897-1900) He promoted mining in Atlin but proved unpopular after removing two premiers and alienating the legislature Pressure built on him to resign but he refused the political deadlock in british columbia created a constitutional crisis in ottawa For the first time in canadian history a lieutenant-governor was removed from office with the agreement of the Prime Minister and the governor-general

the former lieutenant governor moved into a vancouver hotel and later went for a one-year Pacific cruise He returned in ill health to die in vancouver of a heart attack on

1


March 15 1904 this was very likely his uniform but was still not proven that proof came from the work of my colleague colleen Wilson our textile conservatorhellip

When Dr Hammond brought in the donation he asked whether the uniform could be reassembled for display there had been considerable cutting and cobbling at the jacket back the trousersrsquo waist was a mass of shreds the hat looked chewed and there was a box of assorted fragments of fabric and metal thread embroidery in the course of examining the materials a label was found in the trousers seam identifying the uniform as having belonged to t r Mcinnes examination also clarified that the metal thread is brass not the gold that it appears to be

the back of the jacket had been cut apart and re-sewn at a later date by someone who did not understand the original construction the two tails were of different lengths and the lining no longer covered them When the newer stitching was removed it became obvious that all the pertinent pieces were there the cut edge of the centre back embroidery fit exactly against the cut edge of the back of the jacket the lining of the tails had been folded under and when released revealed two pockets and the wonderful hand sewing of 19th century tailoring by stitching

the cut areas to black cotton it was possible to re-assemble the jacket Areas of the silk lining that had been worn to shreds were covered with fine sheer silk to protect it from further abrasion while leaving the jacketrsquos beautifully quilted interior visible for examination

the trousers too were virtually intact just the waistband lining was in shreds the oak leaf patterned metallic bands were found among the fragments and re-united with the trouser legs

the hat was missing a few critical stitches and a lot of its feathery presence careful hand stitching secured the band and upright sides ostrich feathers were dyed and curled to match the grubby yellowed remnants of the extant plumage the feather shafts were split and cut away so the new plumes could be sewn to black cotton tape this was then basted behind the original feather band on close examination it is clear what is original but the overall appearance has been returned to its initial glory

Mystery solved and thanks to the gift of our donors we now hold a fabulous and historically important garment one linked to a canadian and Provincial constitutional crisis a tragic fire and a forgotten moment in british columbiarsquos history now restored and safe within our collections
