    Administrative history

    The Review was started in 1932, by founder Bill Carruthers. After the publication of a few issues, the Review was sold to Ethel Tibbits, who ran the paper until 1948. For much of its existence, it was known as the Marpole-Richmond Review. By the 1970's it was British Columbia's largest circulating biweekly. The Review ended in 2015, with its publishers citing market forces as the reason for the end of the Review; competition with other newspapers made the Review impossible to carry on. The last issue came out on July 24th, 2015.

    Custodial history

    The fonds is made up of several accessions transferred to the archives over time. Photograph negatives were transferred from Mark Patrick in two accessions (one in 1989 and one in 1995), acquired during Patrick's time as a photographer for the Richmond Review. Print photographs, negatives, and 1 floppy disk were transferred from The Richmond Review, after the Richmond Review published its last paper. Before closing its doors, the City of Richmond Archives was invited to come visit the Review offices, and retrieve records considered important to the community. In 2015 Glacier Media Group transferred to the archives photographs, textual records, microfilm reels, CD's and DVDs. Finally, also in 2015, the Richmond Public Library transferred textual records and microfilm reels.

    Scope and content

    The fonds consist of textual records and photographs produced in relation to the Richmond Review. Textual records consist of Richmond Review newspapers and some reference material. This includes Review issues on microfilm (1932-2003), as well as clippings from the Review. This also includes hard-copy editions of the Review, covering the years 2002-2015.
    The photographic materials consist of negatives taken by and used in the production of the Review; a number of these photographs were taken by Mark Patrick or Chung Chow, between 1986 and 1998.
