Acknowledgements

I am sincerely thankful for the generous support from Peter and Ana Lowens, which made this project possible. Heather Dean and the University of Victoria Special Collections team provided invaluable support for my work, for which I am grateful. I am also indebted to my incredible supervisors Dr. J. Matthew Huculak and Dr. Mary Elizabeth Leighton. Over the course of this project, librarians and professors from the University of Victoria facilitated illuminating workshops that supported this project: thank you all for your guidance. Finally, I am honoured to have worked alongside my “fellow Lowens fellows”.

This project was produced on the traditional territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples. To learn more, I encourage readers to review the native land website, and to learn about indigenous history and current events through news resources such as CBC Indigenous.
