ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The compilers wish to thank the Canadian Council of Archives for the special-project funding which made
compilation of this draft thesaurus possible, and the B.C. Archives Council for their support and interest in the
project.
Thanks are also due to the following: Dr. R. Hagler, and Dr. M.S. Stevenson of the UBC School of Library,
Archival and Information Studies, for their advice at an early stage of the project; to the archivists who
contributed time and thought to our research into the indexing needs of B.C. Archives; to Frank Turner for
editorial assistance; and finally, to those archivists who have expressed a willingness to test the draft tool in their
repositories, and to provide that feedback which will make informed revision of this thesaurus possible.
We wish to acknowledge in a particular way here as well, the influence of the Canadian Peace and Security
Thesaurus on the format of our own product; it provided a clear and refreshingly concise model when it was most
needed, and presented some solutions to the problem of subject/name combinations in indexing.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
This is a draft of Version 1.0 of the B.C. Thesaurus. As the number implies, it is expected that this version will
undergo revisions, as it is tested in practical situations; further, it is expected that entirely new versions may be
contemplated at some time in the future. In order to expedite the process of feedback and subsequent revision, an
update/suggestion form follows this page. It is suggested that respondents make copies of that form as required.
The B.C. Thesaurus is the property of the Archives Association of British Columbia (AABC) for purposes of
circulation, further development, and eventual publication. Therefore, any comments, suggestions or inquiries
about this thesaurus should be addressed to:

INTRODUCTION
PROJECT HISTORY:
This project was conceived in response to the B.C. Archival Needs Survey, which recommended that exploration
of Subject Heading Authorities prepared in other provinces (Alberta and Nova Scotia) be undertaken, with the
ultimate aim of producing a similar authority for the province of B.C. (Sec. 2.3, Needs Survey). The terms under
which funding was approved by the B.C. Archives council were as follows: -that the project include a research
and consultation phase; --that the final product, for purposes of this initial exploration of subject indexing
authorities, be a draft which could be tested and developed further before publication is contemplated. This draft
therefore becomes the property of the BCAC, for development, publication and distribution.
The research phase consisted of interviews with persons involved in compilation of the Nova Scotia and Alberta
authorities, and with B.C. archivists representing a variety of repositories - large and small, and with differing user
communities. Interviews in archives were followed by examination of established subject indexing practice in
each repository, and in-house authorities where they existed. Those interviews revealed the following:
1.
that subject indexing as an element of archival descriptive programs has a low priority.
2.
that larger repositories, such as the B.C. Archives and Records Service, or the City of
Vancouver Archives, are accustomed to using the Library of Congress Subject Headings, albeit
with extensive in-house adaptation. Little or no frustration was evident with this customized
approach; such institutions, having invested effort and money in establishing their catalogues,
were understandably cautious about the idea of "retrofitting" them with an untried authority.
3.
that in smaller repositories, where perhaps no subject indexing has been undertaken or even
contemplated, a less daunting tool than LCSH would be welcomed.
4.
on the other hand, that a simplified LCSH would be redundant, and given the resources
available, impossible to produce.
5.
that there are concerns among some archivists that automated storage of archival descriptions,
and the availability of key word searching will make the whole issue of subject indexing
irrelevant, or at the least, will significantly change our approach to it.
6.
that there is also interest in standardization in areas peripheral but not irrelevant to subject
indexing - in particular, that a standard vocabulary for B.C. regions, and for archival genres,
would be useful.
In light of these findings, and on the advice of indexing experts (Dr. R. Hagler and Dr. M-S. Stevenson) at UBC's
School of Library, Archival and Information Studies, the decision was made to attempt the production of a
THESAURUS rather than a traditional LSCH-style subject headings authority. The thesaurus would anticipate
automated storage and searching of finding aids, while still being quite useable in a manual setting. And the
organizational principles underlying construction of thesauri would provide a rational means of limiting the size of
the end product.

Phase II of the project - compilation of a draft thesaurus - began with consultation of manuals and guidelines for
the construction of thesauri. We relied principally on one of them, the British Standards Institute Guidelines for
the Establishment and Development of Monolingual Thesauri. Terms were collected from back-of-the-book
indexes for B.C. bibliographies, from archives catalogues, and from existing in-house authorities in use in B.C.
archives. Reference was also made throughout to the Alberta and Nova Scotia authorities, although more so to
the latter, which is more like the kind of product we envisaged. From this "word-pool", choice of broad categories
was made, and hierarchical analysis of those categories undertaken. At this stage we used various government
publications to better understand the scope of categories such as INDUSTRY. The result is the thesaurus which
follows.
WHAT IS A THESAURUS?
The BSI Guidelines define a thesaurus as follows:
"A thesaurus is a means for displaying the terms in a controlled indexing language, together with
indications of their a priori relationships."
A priori relationships link terms according to common frames of reference; for example the term "Railway
Services" implies the broader term "Transportation Services". By contrast, a posteriori relationships, such as
"Railway Services" and "Netherlands" are not normally associated with each other; their relationship is "document
dependent". (from the BSI Forward)
The linking of terms according to their a priori relationships necessitates an attempt to structure a specific domain
of knowledge hierarchically, from very general TOP TERMS to increasingly specific NARROWER TERMS.
For our purposes then, the "specific domain of knowledge" is BRITISH COLUMBIA, and the means of display is
an alphabetical listing of terms, both used and non-used, with indicators to guide the user through the hierarchies
vertically, and between hierarchies horizontally.
SOME PROBLEMS:
As a specific domain of knowledge, it must be admitted that BRITISH COLUMBIA is problematic. Thesauri are
typically constructed to provide vocabularies for specialized fields not well served by LCSH. In these cases, it is
relatively easy to identify and limit the number of TOP TERMS which must be analyzed to adequately describe
the "domain". BRITISH COLUMBIA however, represents a whole society, which is at the same time part of
larger historical, geographical, and political entities. Thus the "domain" is both complex, and without evident
limits. Many categories are required to describe it, yet few of these need to be developed in a technical or highly
specific way. For example, the category "DISEASES" is necessary to describe a small but significant aspect of
societal life in B.C., but the amplification of that category need not be exhaustive, or of a character which would
be of any use to a medical expert. In this case we have restricted our choice of terms to those few diseases which
have effected B.C. in the historical/epidemiological sense.

A second problem, in describing something as untidy as a society, is that certain categories of an abstract or nontechnical nature, are not easily analyzed in rigid "genus/species" hierarchical terms. We have attempted to address
this problem in two ways. First we have allowed, in a few cases, non genus/species analysis: for example, the
LEGAL SYSTEM is analyzed not by "kinds of" legal systems, but by "parts of" the legal system. Second (and
perhaps more unorthodox), we have allowed the use of what might be called "floating" descriptors - that is, terms
which are not tied into any hierarchy. They are included to indicate areas which are inadequately developed in
this draft, and which must yet be included both to encourage input from test users and to make the present
instrument useable immediately. And it may be discovered that the use of such terms in a general subject
indexing tool does not cause any problems, and may be an adequate solution to the difficulties described above.
SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM OBJECTIVES:
Our immediate short-term goal was the production of this draft. That done, testing and revision become the
logical next steps. These must be carried out under the auspices of the BCAC, although the compilers will
maintain an ongoing interest in the development of the thesaurus. It is expected that early revisions will address
clerical problems in the thesaurus; dead ends where indicators fail to lead to a term, absence of needed entry
vocabulary, incorporation of additional associative relationships (between hierarchies), and the like. It is hoped
that later projects may take on more sophisticated analysis of specialized areas, such as MUNICIPAL
GOVERNMENT, or UNIVERSITIES.
The long-term objective is the publication of a general-use subject indexing resource, applicable in a variety of
repositories. Procedures should also be in place to allow continuous updating of the thesaurus, so that it can be
responsive to the changing needs of B.C. archives.

THE MANUAL
INTRODUCTION:
Any thesaurus provides a means of displaying conceptual, or a priori, relationships between terms in a controlled
vocabulary. Various types of display may be employed; this thesaurus provides an alphabetical display of terms,
with indicators to allow the user to explore the hierarchical and associative relationships between the descriptors.
The alphabetical section is followed by a TOP TERM list, and a "hierarchies at a glance" display; these are
included so that the user can quickly understand the scope of any one category. Associative relationships are not
indicated in the hierarchical displays. The information provided in this manual will serve as a guide to the use of
the alphabetical section of the thesaurus.

DEFINITIONS:
DESCRIPTOR: Descriptors are used to describe (that is, to index) and retrieve information at
hand. They are controlled or limited so that the same subject matter may be treated in the same
way by different indexers, thereby providing consistent, predictable subject access to researchers
and indexers alike.
INDICATORS: Part of the control established over descriptors is provided by the hierarchical
structure in which they are embedded, and by the relationships between hierarchies. Related
descriptors have INDICATORS to direct the user to the most appropriate term. The indicator
and the alternate term appear under the descriptor. For any entry, indicators lead only one step
up or down the vertical structure, but may provide more than one associative, or horizontal link.
With the exception of the scope note, indicators are always reciprocal. The indicators are as
follows:
8
9
BRITISH COLUMBIA THESAURUS
SN = Scope Note; lays out the exact definition of the term as applied in the thesaurus, where this
is not made clear by the hierarchically associated terms.
TT = Top Term; indicated so the user will know which terms represent a whole category in the
thesaurus.
NT = Narrower Term; points to the existence of narrower terms in the thesaurus that
more specific description of the subject:
may provide a
FUR TRADE
NT SEALING
TRAPPING
BT = Broader Term; points to broader, more general terms in the thesaurus that may provide a
more encompassing description of the subject:
TRAWLING
BT COMMERCIAL FISHING
RT = Related Term; points to the existence of terms that are related by other than hierarchical
means, normally by function, or as opposites:
MINING
RT ORES
MINERALS
Use; used with non-terms to indicate which term is the preferred thesaurus term. It is an access
point to the controlled vocabulary of the thesaurus.
air raid shelters
Use BOMBSHELTERS
UF = Used For; the reciprocal indicator to "Use". It indicates what uncontrolled term(s) the
descriptor is meant to cover.
BOMBSHELTERS
UF air-raid shelters
fall out shelters
* = Floating term; as described in the introduction, these terms do not belong to developed categories.
BASIS OF ANALYSIS:
In addition to the information provided by the indicators above, this thesaurus points out certain deviations from
conventional thesaurus entries, where these occur. The most acceptable basis of analysis for construction of
thesaurus hierarchies is of the genus/species variety. For example, under BUILDINGS are found various kinds of
buildings; PUBLIC BUILDINGS, HERITAGE BUILDINGS, and so forth. Further precision is gained by
carrying this process further down the tree, to kinds of public buildings. Where we have deviated from this
9
BRITISH COLUMBIA THESAURUS
10
framework, the nature of the deviation is noted in brackets after the descriptor. For example: LEGAL SYSTEM
(partitive analysis) - the narrower terms which follow are not kinds of legal systems but rather parts of a legal
system, as COURTS, LAW, LAW ENFORCEMENT.
Further, it can happen that even in a conventional genus/species analysis, species can be identified using different
criteria. For example, we may describe kinds of COURTS by their function (TRIAL COURTS), by their
jurisdiction (FEDERAL COURTS), or by their specialty (JUVENILE COURTS). Such occurrences are also
noted with bracketed explanations, above the relevant narrower terms.
DESCRIPTORS AND IDENTIFIERS:
As has been said, descriptors describe (index) and make retrievable information at hand. They are controlled or
limited so that their use will provide consistent subject access to materials about British Columbia. Examples of
descriptors are:
PRISONS or BOATS (a type or class of things)
BUDDHISM or COMMON LAW (a concept, theory, or belief system)
GEOGRAPHY or MANUFACTURING (a field of study, or endeavour)
However, descriptors do not describe specific objects identified by proper names: names of persons, places,
organizations, archival genres, or date ranges. These things are treated as IDENTIFIERS, and are not limited or
controlled by this thesaurus. (However, individual archives may wish to compile identifier lists specific to their
needs, and this is seen as an area in which the appendices to this volume might be expanded at some future date.)
Examples of identifiers would be:
CAMPBELL RIVER
diaries
1939-1945
In the "subject" field of an archival description, identifers may be used in combination with descriptors. Subject
access by descriptors provides a universal view of an aspect of the domain of knowledge. Access by identifiers
will retrieve all aspects of the domain of knowledge in relationship to a specific object. For example, the
DESCRIPTOR "BOATS" will retrieve all materials so indexed. But in combination with the identifier
"CAMPBELL RIVER", the search will be narrowed to materials on boats in the Campbell River area. Or, for an
even narrower focus on the domain "boats", a specific vessel name may be used.
A NOTE ON POST COORDINATE INDEXING:
Indexers familiar with Library of Congress compound terms and universal subdivisions may find it difficult at first
to get at all the concepts they wish to highlight with their choice of terms. The basic rule of thumb is to identify
the concepts singly, and find descriptors which describe each. Co-ordination of the terms is provided by their
limiting effects on each other. Or another way of looking at it is that co-ordination is provided by the degree to
which domains of knowledge overlap in the archival unit being described. At any rate, the thesaurus itself does
not govern which terms may be used with which, or in what order; in this, the post-coordinate approach differs
markedly from the traditional LCSH pre-coordinate system.
HOW TO USE THE THESAURUS:
The descriptors are to be used in combinations to get an accurate description of the subject. Choose from 1 to 4
descriptors which best differentiate your subject matter from a general domain of knowledge. For example, if you
10
BRITISH COLUMBIA THESAURUS
11
are indexing the records of a Childrens Aid Society, you might select the terms CHILDREN, CHARITABLE
SOCIETIES, and perhaps the identifier VANCOUVER ISLAND to increase specifity. When subject indexing,
all items should be given at least one descriptor, and identifiers if appropriate, but never use only identifiers to
index an item.
As a general rule, avoid using the broadest or most general descriptors. Decisions in this regard will depend on
the nature of your holdings, and of your clientele; the archivist in a religious archives will require greater
specificity in the area of churches, religion, clergy and the like, than a municipal archives which may hold very
little related to those topics.
If at all possible, terms should be drawn from the finding aid; to this end, the finding aid can be written with
eventual subject indexing in mind, so that it brings forward the desired terms.
A NOTE ON AUTOMATION:
It may already be clear to the reader that post-coordinate indexing assumes the ability to search using Boolean
strategies, that is, to allow a computer to search for everything on CHILDREN, CHARITABLE SOCIETIES, and
VANCOUVER ISLAND, and recall only those materials which relate to all three. This thesaurus will therefore
be of greatest use to archives already using automated data storage. That said, the thesaurus should become
increasingly useful to more and more repositories as time goes by, and automation advances apace. In the
meantime, we are able to adjust to a new mindset, and improve on the foundation laid here.
CONVENTIONS:
Lexicography reflects Canadian usage. Therefore "Theatres", not "Theaters", "Labour" not "Labor", and so on.
Descriptors are arranged in natural word order; for example INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS, not BUILDINGS,
INDUSTRIAL
Capital letters are used to denote actual descriptors, while lower case letters are reserved for non-terms, scope
notes, and basis-of-analysis descriptions.
Descriptors are entered in the plural form unless they are collective terms or actions:
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT - to describe both the collective body, and the action of governing, but
SCHOOL DISTRICTS - to describe a collection of discrete areas; also, no action is carried out by a
district.
WAR, to describe the general phenomenon, but
WARS, to describe the class of named wars.
Filing is done on a word-by-word, letter-by-letter basis.
HOMOGRAPHS: where the meanings of homographs must be distinguished, bracketed explanations following
the term form part of the term, as: ENGINEERS (PROFESSIONAL)
ENGINEERS (STATIONARY, RAILROAD)

APPENDIX A
GEOGRAPHIC DIVISIONS
During the interview process, interest was expressed by some individuals in standardizing vocabulary for
GEOGRAPHIC DIVISIONS within the province. Such a vocabulary must address general rather than particular
needs, since regions can be identified on a variety of bases be specific interest groups. (For example, the Anglican
church divides the province into a number of dioceses - but this vocabulary would suit no one else's needs).
The decision was made therefore, to choose from among existing general-purpose vocabularies. The suggested
standard which follows is taken directly from the B.C. Regional Index, 1989 which divides the province
according to geographic/economic criteria. It is offered here for testing, and as a basis for further exploration in
this area, should it prove unsatisfactory.
Numbers refer to areas on the map, p. 79.
1. VANCOUVER ISLAND/COAST REGION
5. CARIBOO REGION
2. MAINLAND/SOUTHWEST REGION
6. NORTH COAST REGION
3. THOMPSON - OKANAGAN REGION
7. NECHAKO REGION
4. KOOTNEY REGION
8. NORTH-EAST REGION

APPENDIX B
SUGGESTED IDENTIFIER LISTS
It is hoped that in future editions, it will be possible to add other standardized IDENTIFIER lists to the
Appendices section of this volume. Suggested areas for such treatment are listed below.
1. ETHNIC GROUPS
- including religious groups such as Doukhobors
2. NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS
- standardized names/spellings of B.C. tribal groups.
3. CHURCHES
- Christian denominations, and other, as it may apply - for example, among Muslims we might find
SHIITES, SUNIS, and so on.
4. ARCHIVAL GENRES
- with precise definition of each type.
