Did You Know...that the Literary Manuscript Collection at the National Library of Canada recently lent materials for the exhibition PhotoGraphic Encounters: Prose Pictures and Visual Fictions, which took place October 15 to November 26, 2000, at British Columbia’s Kamloops Art Gallery? The exhibition was curated by Donald Lawrence and Will Garrett-Petts, Chair of the Journalism Program at the University College of the Cariboo in Kamloops. The National Library sent materials from Daphne Marlatt's literary archives that relate to Marlatt's Steveston Recollected: A Japanese-Canadian History, an oral history of the Japanese-Canadian fishing village of Steveston on the British Columbia coast. This same village was the inspiration of her poetic work Steveston. The items sent include Marlatt's journal of interviews with people for Steveston and a CBC broadcast of Steveston, for which Marlatt wrote the script. The exhibition opening was one of the largest in the gallery's history. Daphne Marlatt is one of many noted Canadian authors whose papers are held by the National Library of Canada.
