Film Listings By Cinema and Newspaper in Vancouver from January to December 1914

This SSHRC funded project (Council Grant number 430-2011-006) set out as its goal to advance our knowledge of the character of film exhibition in the early part of the 20th century in Vancouver, with a specific focus on 1914 as a case study. Dr. Peter Lester researched the majority of the theatre data. Graduate Students Babak Tabbarraee, Shaun Inouye, Nathen Clerici, Joshua Ferguson, and Dr. Christine Evans, and Dr. Diane Burgess have contributed to these data and contextual matters. The following dataset is one the of three surrounding 1914 exhibition history in Vancouver. In this dataset, the four main newspapers that published in Vancouver at this time –The Province, The Vancouver Sun, The Vancouver Daily World, and The Vancouver News-Advertiser were scanned for advertisements and notices of film screenings. We discovered that only a small number of theatres did advertise films compared to the theatre list found on the maps which can be found in cIRcle http://hdl.handle.net/2429/45267. The second dataset, a comparison of 1914 film listings in Vancouver, Seattle and Winnipeg is located in the "Screens in Vancouver: Cinemagoing and the City in 1914" collection in cIRcle. A comparison with Toronto and Montreal will follow in early 2014.

本由 SSHRC 资助的项目（委员会拨款编号 430-2011-006）旨在深化我们对 20 世纪初温哥华电影放映特性的认识，并特别以 1914 年为案例研究。彼得·莱斯터博士负责研究了大部分剧院数据。研究生巴巴克·塔巴拉里、山姆·伊诺耶、纳森·克莱里奇、约书亚·弗格森，以及克里斯汀·埃文斯博士和黛安·伯吉斯博士也对这些数据和背景问题作出了贡献。以下数据集是围绕 1914 年温哥华放映历史的三大数据集之一。在此数据集中，对当时在温哥华出版的四家主要报纸——《省报》、《温哥华太阳报》、《温哥华每日世界报》和《温哥华新闻广告商报》进行了广告和电影放映公告的扫描。我们发现，与地图上找到的剧院列表相比，只有少数剧院进行了电影广告。第二个数据集，比较了 1914 年温哥华、西雅图和温尼伯的电影列表，位于 cIRcle 的“温哥华银幕：1914 年的电影观影与城市”收藏中。2014 年初，将对多伦多和蒙特利尔进行比较。
