Historial de custodia
From 1959-1972 the records were in the custody of Wilson Duff, but at some point before his death he gave the files to Marjorie Halpin (likely around the time she was working on her UBC dissertation on Tsimshian crests – completed in 1973). Halpin controlled access to the Tsimshian files until her death in 2000.
Alcance y contenido

This research, focused specifically on the Tsimshian culture, includes correspondence addressed to and/or written by Duff, files relating to the Nishga Land Claim of which Duff was involved as a witness, and typed manuscripts.

Additionally, in May 2002, the archives received a draft copy of the “Virtual Duff Files” created by Dr. Margaret Sequin Anderson, Professor of First Nations Studies at the University of Northern British Columbia. Anderson’s project includes a digital copy of Duff’s Tsimshian files on ten compact disks and a synopsis of the history and uses of the Tsimshian files by scholars. Researchers can access this aid in the archives.

Nota general
Numeric notations found on the original file folders have been noted on a file list for this series and can be found in the “Wilson Duff - case file” and the “Duff Tsimshian Records” files held by the archivist. It is unclear as to who wrote these numbers and for what reference purpose they have.
