Patrick A. Dunae

Clio Media was established in 2002, when the province of British Columbia was celebrating the 150th anniversary of its public school system. I was contracted by the provincial government to create commemorative activities and events for the sesquicentennial. Since then, with Clio Media, I've helped to commemorate other civic and corporate anniversaries.

I was born in Victoria, British Columbia and live there now.

I earned a B. A. degree in History from the University of Victoria and completed a Ph.D in History at the University of Manchester. I held a post-doctoral fellowship at The University of British Columbia before commencing a post-secondary teaching career. I'm now retired from teaching but remain active as a public historian and researcher.

I'm affiliated with the University of Victoria as an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of History and from time to time serve as an advisor and assessor on graduate student projects.

At Vancouver Island University [VIU], I have the honorary designation of Academic (Professor) Emeritus.

I've worked as an archivist in the State Archives of Western Australia (now called the State Records Office of Western Australia) and the Provincial Archives of British Columbia (now known as the Royal BC Museum and Archives).

I am a past president of the Vancouver Island Local History Society and the Friends of the British Columbia Archives Society. I have served as a director of the Hallmark Heritage Society in Victoria and member of the City of Victoria's Heritage Advisory Panel. I'm particularly interested in the heritage character of the city's Burnside Gorge neighbourhood.
