So, one might ask "what is left to do?" ... well, I could continue to transcribe BC Society of Artists exhibition catalogues from 1952 to 1967, the VAG BC Artists exhibitions from 1951 to 1968, and the Island Arts & Crafts Society from 1912 to 1941. Doing all of those would add around 45 catalogues to the project, listing perhaps another 7,000 artworks, and creating many more artist biographies. That would be a lot of work.

In the meantime, I am "rounding up" and adding loose ends of clippings, images, and bits of information as I find them in my research files. This includes artist photographs for the birthday calendar and a number of additional listings for the Greater Vancouver Art Galleries page.

I went through it again, and added/updated a huge amount of information that I did not note the first time. For example, I hadn't noted where the artists lived, now everyone who provided that information has been placed. I also paid no attention to the occasional lengthy list of exhibitions noted by some of the artists. I had nowhere to "put" the information. Since then I have transcribed and compiled the Greater Vancouver Art Galleries page, and there is now a place to put any applicable information. I made quite a few updates, and added a chart listing the gallery and exhibition statistics.

A recent visitor mentioned Tippet & Cole's From Desolation to Splendour, a book that I referenced quite early into Art & Artists in Exhibition Vol 1: Vancouver 1890 - 1950. However, I had simply listed the book and briefly described its contents, I didn't compile a list of artists. I kept meaning to do so, and the mention of this book prompted me to finally list its artists. That went well, a total of 83 artists were referenced in the book, many whose work was illustrated. Surprisingly, all 83 of them were already listed in my BC Artists project ... ! If I'd listed them 20 years ago I would have had to create biography files for most of them, or new A-Z index listings. Now, 60 of the artists already have biography files, and the other 23 were already listed in the index.

Peggy did a lot of work on his biography, repeatedly stating in her work that he needed to be better recognized in Vancouver. Unfortunately she was not able to finish her work and produce a complete biography. My visit was intended to try and find references or images for Alfredo Dalfo, a sculptor and long-time assistant of Marega's. There is a record of Peggy interviewing Dalfo in 1974, but her notes only include brief references to Marega. I did find a good photograph of Dalfo in a large collection of film negatives, and ordered a high resolution scan of it.

Late in the year I went through all the biographies again, standardizing the formatting for exhibitions, solo or group. That was fairly straight forward, but took about one week. Most early files had a header Exhibitions, then headers for solo and group. The first header has been deleted, and if there are no solo exhibitions then that section has also been deleted. Smaller file size, a touch faster to load, less bandwidth, simpler to look at.

I finally put together a biography of photographer Stuart Thomson. He captured many important images in Vancouver's history from 1910 to 1960. I acquired a fair bit of information about him during my research into artist Maud Sherman and her family, as Thomson boarded with them for the last twenty years of his life and Maud's niece June Sherman became his business partner.

I also started a page for the Alcuin Society, who has supported so many artists with their various programs since its inception in 1965. This page was inspired by the arrival of the latest Amphora, which is a memorial issue to Robert R. Reid.
