Seriously Moving Images

This video clip consists of excerpts from two BC government films. The brief look at the town of Hope is from the travelogue The Fraser Valley, British Columbia (1947-48). The Gold Rush scenes are historical re-enactments from the documentary The Fraser Canyon (1957-59).

The source films are BC Archives items AAAA1954 and AAAA1948, respectively, at the Royal BC Museum.
