Swedish-Canadian research collection
The collection consists of research material created or collected by Olof Seaholm pertaining to Swedish immigration and organizations to Canada and North America. The collection mainly consists of general research material related to these themes, but there is some more specialized research into specific areas of Swedish Canadian history, such as the Scandinavian Central Committee and the International Order of Good Templars. Textual records in this collection include minute books, clippings, a constitution, correspondence, research notes, newspaper and magazine issues and clippings, books, and photographs documenting Swedish communities in British Columbia and research material about Swedish activities in North America.
The collection contains four series related to Seaholm's research. They include the Swedish Canadian research material series; Scandinavian Central Committee series; Independent Order of Good Templars series; and the Swedish Canadian Rest Home material series.
The sous-fonds reflects Malcolm Lowry’s life and work. Contents include: correspondence (incoming and outgoing), manuscripts (poetry and prose), notes and notebooks, juvenilia and other material published by Lowry, and a variety of textual and audio-visual materials about Lowry produced by friends, family, and Lowry scholars. Within the Letters series, incoming and outgoing, Lowry’s literary agents and editors, including Albert Erskine and Harold Matson, feature prominently.
Poetry and prose manuscripts comprise the bulk of the Malcolm Lowry Papers. Manuscripts frequently include several drafts of a given work as well as notes and notebooks associated with that manuscript. Under the Volcano, October Ferry to Gabriola, and Hear Us O Lord From Heaven Thy Dwelling Place are among the works included in these series.
The Personal Life series includes financial records, art prints which hung on the walls of the Dollarton shacks, notes on source characters by Lowry, and records about Lowry’s life and family collected by UBC.
Audio-visual records include the 1984 film adaptation of Lowry’s Under the Volcano as well as interviews with scholars and friends of the Lowrys and documentaries about Lowry produced by the CBC and National Film Board of Canada (NFB).
