Title	Historical Chinese Language Materials in British Columbia: An Electronic Inventory
Alternate Title	HCLMBC
Creator	University of British Columbia. Library
Date Issued	2003
Description	Historical Chinese Language Materials in British Columbia (HCLMBC) was a collaboration between UBC and SFU to digitize historical records and images related to Chinese settlement and life in British Columbia. Topics covered include family photographs, household tool photographs, various reports, and local Chinese-Canadian organizations. The image collection consists of personal photo albums, city photos, and photographs of everyday items from the early 20th century. The catalogue csv files are bilingual compilations of records detailing holdings related to Chinese-Canadian history at various institutions, with call numbers and contact names for further research. Some characters do not render in Excel and are best viewed in another program. This information was collected in Chinese and English on the HCLMBC website which can be seen in archived form here: http://wayback.archive-it.org/org-734/20140129191004/http://burton.library.ubc.ca/hclmbc/index.html

Full Text

The HCLMBC CSVs include traditional Chinese characters. Excel displays the characters improperly. There are two ways to display the files: 1) Open with LibreOffice, Notepad, TextWrangler, or any other program that can open a CSV. 2) Open Excel. Go to the ‘data’ tab. Click ‘from text’ as the source. Open HCLMBC. In the file origin drop-down select ‘Chinese.’ Click ‘next.’ The file should now open. Some of the characters may still not display.
