Journeymen Barbers Union Locals 120 & 372 Fonds
This collection contains records of the Journeymen Barbers’ International Union Locals 120 and 372, primarily consisting of bound minute books from Vancouver Local 120, beginning in 1903.
This fonds also includes a photocopy of the original charter and two union seals, one for Local 120 (Vancouver) and one for Local 372 (Victoria).
Local 372 merged with Local 120 around 1980. The original charter was surrendered to the international union when the local was dissolved.
