Wah was born in Swift Current, Saskatchewan in 1939 and grew up in the West Kootenay region. His Chinese and Scots-Irish ethnic background and identity have a significant influence on his literary work. Wah completed an undergraduate degree in Literature and Music at the University of British Columbia, where he became a founding editor of the TISH newsletter in 1961, and has taught at Selkirk College, the David Thompson University Centre, and the University of Calgary. The fonds contains a number of interviews, conversations, lectures, and public readings recorded between the years 1976 and 2006, featuring local and national literary and media figures such as Lorna Crozier, bpNichol, Daphne Marlatt, and Stuart McLean."],"collection_source_collection_id":["MsC 17"],"persistent_url":[""],"item_title":["radiofreerainforest 17 November, 1992 and 10 December, 1992 "],"item_title_source":["item, j-card"],"item_title_note":["Liner notes: see the photo in material description"],"item_language":["English"],"item_production_context":["Documentary recording"],"item_identifiers":["[]"],"rights":["Copyright Not Evaluated (CNE)"],"creator_names":["Kiyooka, Roy","Wah, Fred","Shaw, Nancy"],"creator_names_search":["Kiyooka, Roy","Wah, Fred","Shaw, Nancy"],"creators":["[{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/30784426\",\"name\":\"Kiyooka, Roy\",\"dates\":\"1926-1994\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Reader\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/1330211\",\"name\":\"Wah, Fred\",\"dates\":\"1939–\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Reader\"]},{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/53241677\",\"name\":\"Shaw, Nancy\",\"dates\":\"1962–2007\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Presenter\"]}]"],"contributors":["[]"],"Production_Date":[1992],"material_description":["[{\"side\":\"\",\"image\":\"../Uploads/7983/Fred Wah Fonds_MsC 17e_21.jpg\",\"other\":\"\",\"extent\":\"1/8 inch\",\"AV_types\":\"Audio\",\"tape_brand\":\"\",\"generations\":\"\",\"Conservation\":\"\",\"equalization\":\"\",\"playback_mode\":\"\",\"playing_speed\":\"\",\"sound_quality\":\"Good\",\"recording_type\":\"Analogue\",\"storage_capacity\":\"\",\"physical_condition\":\"Excellent\",\"track_configuration\":\"\",\"material_designation\":\"Cassette\",\"physical_composition\":\"Magnetic Tape\",\"accompanying_material\":\"J-card\",\"other_physical_description\":\"Black and white clear jewel case with J-card\"}]"],"material_designations":["Cassette"],"physical_compositions":["Magnetic Tape"],"recording_type":["Analogue"],"AV_type":["Audio"],"digital_description":["[{\"file_url\":\"https://digital.lib.sfu.ca/radiofreerainforest-17-november-1992-sides-11-and-10-december-1992-sides-12-22-part-2\",\"file_path\":\"\",\"filename\":\"FW_021 side 2.mp3\",\"channel_field\":\"Stereo\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"T00:31:11\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"45.0 MB\",\"bitrate\":\"32 bit\",\"encoding\":\"WAV for master files and .MP3 for online files\",\"contents\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"title\":\"\",\"credit\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"content_type\":\"\",\"featured\":\"\",\"public_access_url\":\"\"},{\"file_url\":\"https://digital.lib.sfu.ca/_flysystem/fedora/2025-03/MSC17E-21/MSC17E-21-01.mp3\",\"file_path\":\"\",\"filename\":\"MSC17E-21-01.mp3\",\"channel_field\":\"Stereo\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"T00:31:12\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"29.9 MB\",\"bitrate\":\"32 bit\",\"encoding\":\"WAV for master files and .MP3 for online files\",\"contents\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"title\":\"\",\"credit\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"content_type\":\"Sound Recording\",\"featured\":\"\",\"public_access_url\":\"https://digital.lib.sfu.ca/radiofreerainforest-17-november-1992-sides-11-and-10-december-1992-sides-12-22-part-1\"}]"],"Dates":["[{\"date\":\"1992-12-10\",\"type\":\"Production Date\",\"notes\":\"date of Roy Kiyooka reading\",\"source\":\"item, j-card\"},{\"date\":\"1992-11-17\",\"type\":\"Production Date\",\"notes\":\"date of Fred Wah reading \",\"source\":\"item, j-card\"}]"],"Location":["[{\"url\":\"https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/69701736#map=19/49.28288/-123.12056\",\"venue\":\"Vancouver Art Gallery\",\"notes\":\"Venue of Roy Kiyooka reading\",\"address\":\"750 Hornby St, Vancouver, BC V6Z 2H7\",\"latitude\":\"49.2829\",\"longitude\":\"-123.12049\"},{\"url\":\"https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3974498662\",\"venue\":\"R2B2 Books Books (Vancouver)\",\"notes\":\"Venue of Fred Wah reading.
