Tue Jul 16 10:17:27 PDT 2019

Hi Maurice,

The following image is used in the book: Chilliwack's Chinatowns by Chad Reimer. https://ccap.uvic.ca/index.php/group-portrait-of-yip-on-family and the image is in the collection of the Chilliwack Archives.

From the book, the subjects have been identified as:

Wong Gip Low She; son Banford, son David; and Wong Gip She. Taken ca. 1916. Wong was the defacto head of Chilliwack's Chinatown south. (p. 116)

The Chilliwack Archives website indicates the photographer may be Savard as referenced in the description. Contacting the archives may confirm this upon inspection of the image.

Good luck in your search!
Shannon

SEARCH for ALPHONSE SAVARD PHOTOS

The SHFCB is doing research on a Vancouver photographer, Alphonse Savard, who operated Imperial Photo Studio during the 1880s-1900s. But then he seems to have gone to work at Britannia Beach, though in an unknown capacity.

Savard took several photos of members of the Chinese community, of sports groups and beauty queens, along with the regular walk-in clients. One of his photos appears on the cover of Brokering Belonging: Chinese in Canada’s Exclusion Era, 1885-1945, by Lisa Rose Mar.

Might you have any of his photos in your collections?
