Fwd: [Bcma-l] BC Collections with H. Faulkner-Smith?

[bcma-l@museumsassn.bc.ca]

The Vancouver Public Library (Fine Arts & Music Division) has hard copy 
files of artists called "BC Artists Files".

If you visit the VPL website for the BC Artists Files
http://www.vpl.ca/branches/LibrarySquare/art/cabcrev.html#S
they have "Smith, Harold Thomas Faulkner, 1893-1972" listed as one of 
their files.

You just have to go to the librarian at the desk and request to see that 
file. It will be full of clippings about the artist. It's been a few 
years since I've used the service, but the librarians were quite 
helpful. It might provide clues to locations of his artwork.

Also, CHIN used to have an "Artists in Canada Database" but the link is 
broken. It was a list identifying the location of files on Canadian artists
http://daryl.chin.gc.ca:8000/BASIS/aich/user/www/sf
You could contact them to see what happened to the database.

Hope this helps.
