- Scope and Content
- Recording is of an interview with Al Nixon, conducted by Rod Fowler. Al Nixon was one of eleven participants interviewed as part of the SFU/Burnaby Centennial Committee's oral history series titled, "Voices of Burnaby". The interview is mainly about the history and operations of the Burnaby Fire Department from its beginning in 1911 to 1990, and Al Nixon’s stories about the various ways photographs, records and artifacts about the department were collected and saved. The interview takes place while looking at photographs, but the information is clear nonetheless (His photographs have been deposited in the Burnaby Archives). Al Nixon also talks about his father's career as a firefighter, and about his Douglas grandparents and their home “The Gables” [Seven Gables] and neighbourhood in Burquitlam. To view “Narrow By” terms for each track expand this description and see “Notes”.
- Biographical Notes
- Al Nixon was born in New Westminster Feb. 8, 1936, the son of Provincial Fire Marshal Basil Nixon (1904-1975) and Agnes Douglas (1909-?). His mother’s family immigrated to Canada from Scotland in 1922 and lived in a large ca. 1900 home in Burquitlam at 9957 Sullivan Road called “Seven Gables” (recently demolished). His grandfather Thomas Douglas, a Coquitlam Councillor and Socialist, was murdered in 1934 in his North Road service station. Al Nixon began his career as a firefighter with the Burnaby Fire Department in 1957, eventually becoming Deputy Fire Chief Operations in 1987 and Fire Chief in 1991, before retiring in 1993. In the mid 1980's Al Nixon became interested in the department’s history after finding a photograph scrapbook at one of the firehalls. It was in very bad condition but he recognized its value and began a project to collect and save photographs, artifacts and stories about the Burnaby Fire Department, a 6 month project that turned into years. The photographs and information gathered by Al Nixon became part of Douglas Penn’s book “Follow that Fire: the history of the Burnaby Fire Department”.

- Scope and Content
- File consists of a collection of photographs which were taken between April 8 and May 20, 1988 by Jim Wolf to document the Love farmhouse from it's original location at 7651 Cumberland Street (the corner of 14th Avenue and Cumberland Street) and the move to the Burnaby Village Museum site. The purpose of this documentary collection was to help capture the original character of the house and record any evident changes over time as modern renovations were discovered along with any changes that were made in order to move the house from it's original site to the museum. Jim Wolf created a "Love House Photo Index" including descriptions for most of the photographs that he created. Film "Rolls A-E" were taken of the house once it was saved and acquired by the Burnaby Village Museum. Film "Rolls F & G" were taken prior to this event and were meant to provide evidence for preserving the house and create a permanent record of an historic building - with the imminent threat of its destruction. Interior shots of the upstairs of the house were recorded on film roll "D" according to another alphabetic system that was used to record each "artifact" ie: fixtures, walls, moulding etc. since there was a good possibility that the mid-section of the second floor would be severed and/or damaged once the kitchen was removed in order to transport the house. Film "roll E" and several other rolls have an emphasis on the kitchen because of the threat of its individual destruction given budgetary, spatial and other constraints.
