Scrapbook compiled by the Vancouver Island Branch of the C.W.P.C relating to the C.W.P.C Triennial Conference which took place in Vancouver from June 20-24, 1949 and other themes. This scrapbook contains predominantly newsclippings and b&w photographs. Some correspondence is also included in this scrapbook.

The first section of this scrapbook contains materials relating to the 1949 Triennial Conference of the C.W.P.C in West Coast Canada. There is much overlap between the materials contained in this scrapbook compiled by the Vancouver Island Branch of the C.W.P.C. and those contained in a second C.W.P.C scrapbook, which is devoted exclusively to the Triennial Event (see file 5).

The photographs and clippings relate to the events which constituted the Triennial Conference of the C.W.P.C. in Vancouver including the award of Memorial Gold medals to Dorothy Howarth and Lotta Dempsey Fisher by the C.W.P.C during the government dinner held in honour of the conference delegates in Victoria, as well as to the Oriental Sun Dinner held for the visiting women journalists, and to the delegates trip on board the H.M.C.S. Crescent which transported them from Vancouver to Victoria.
The scrapbook also includes articles on prominent women journalists who attended the conference including Isabel Dingman, the only woman journalism instructor at the time, and Annie Mathewson, women's editor of “The Gleaner” who received a scroll at the conference in recognition of half a century in the Fourth Estate. Also among these clippings is an article on Marie Holmes editor of Chatelaine Magazine and Director of the Chatelaine Institute.

This scrapbook also contains a column written by Eva-Lis Wuorio, MacLean's Magazine writer, in the New Westerner. She attended the conference also and in this column writes about her impressions of the West Coast comparing it to East Coast Canada. Other articles that appeared in the local newspapers during the conference focus on the impressions made by the visiting women journalists.

The remaining items in this scrapbook include press clippings and photographs dated 1950, and 1957-1961, 1963, and 1967-1968. These materials cover a wide range of subject areas.
