Archival History

Between the time of Carter's death in 1992 and when the fonds was transferred to the archives in 1993 Minn Sjolseth, Carter's widow, was the custodian of the materials. It is possible there were additional custodians, suggested by divergent handwriting on the material.

Scope And Content

The fonds consists of photographs, transparencies, negatives, prints and slides. Contents of the fonds primarily reflect First Nations cultures in British Columbia between 1960 and 1980, including the Haida, Coast Salish (formerly Burrard Reserve), Kwakiutl (Kwakwaka'wakw), Gitsegukla and Ans'pa yaxw (Kispiox) nations. Notable First Nations personalities and artists documented include Chief Dan George, Gerry Marks, Henry Hunt and Norman Tait. Contents also include: B.C. landscapes such as Gwayasdums (Gilford Island), Klemtu, Mamalilikulla and Uchucklesaht; First Nations children; First Nations exhibits, totem poles and installations at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and for the National Museum of Ethnology in Osaka, Japan. The materials are arranged in series according to Carter's published works which focus on specific localities, communities, individuals and subject matter.
