Biographical history
The Victoria Chemical Company was incorporated on November 29, 1893. It was originally located at 7 Dallas Road in Victoria and manufactured acids, fertilizers and tree sprays. In 1912, the company, after amalgamating with other companies, was reorganized as the Canadian Explosives Company. About 1912, it moved its operations to James Island.
Custodial history
The records were donated by Robert Walley and the Frederick Moore family between 1969 and 1972. The donations from the two have been interfiled making it unclear which records came from which source.
Scope and content
The fonds consists of photographs of Frederick Moore, Robert Walley and the Victoria Chemical Company depicting the Victoria Chemical Works in the Victoria Inner Harbour, construction of the Canadian Explosives plant on James Island, employees of the Chemical Works, and family scenes on James Island.
