Registrar's Office fonds

  • UBCA-ARC-1236
  • Fonds
  • 1907-2008

The fonds consists of records dating from 1907 to 2008, which provide a unique source of information particularly about student-related matters such as grades, university admissions, graduation and examinations. In addition to records generated by the Registrar's Office itself, there are also Faculty records (1915-1963) which were probably maintained by the Registrar who served as the secretary to Senate. The Registrar’s Office also maintained the records of the Senate’s committees, reports, and elections (1912-1930). There are also records related to the Sopron Division of the Faculty of Forestry (1957-2007). These records include handwritten transcripts and correspondence. The records have been largely retained in their physical order in which they were acquired - as a result, records from different series are often inter-filed together, making it difficult to distinguish them with any accuracy. The records on microfilm include correspondence, student registration cards, academic records, and information on scholarships and bursaries dating from 1913 to 1968. The Registrar's Office also collected copies of student examinations. In 1993 copies of student examinations from 1915 to 1969 were microfilmed and the originals destroyed.

Correspondence series

Series consists chiefly of incoming correspondence with a few carbon copies, or manuscript copies interspersed outgoing correspondence. The material is arranged in chronological order by year. Daniells' life integrated personal, scholarly and academic work, and the post reflects this. First names or nicknames have been used if the writer is unidentified. For ease of use, most of the letters from Daniells' parents have been separated from the rest of the correspondence but kept within the yearly chronology. The Coates-Cassidy correspondence, which was original with this series, has been removed because of the fragility of the materials and grouped with other Coates-Cassidy materials. For privacy reasons, some correspondence has been restricted for a short time period. There are also letters in other series, including speech, broadcast, subject, student records, research, and miscellaneous series.

Librarian's Office sous-fonds

The Librarian's Office is the administrative centre of the UBC Library, and in its early years, all administrative activities were based there. However, as the Library became decentralized, these activities were devolved to the relevant branches and divisions. At the same time, the University Librarian's administrative burden increased, so a series of Assistant University Librarians were appointed, each with defined areas of responsibility, including Public Services, Collections, Technical Services and Systems, and Administrative Services.
The sous-fonds consists of records generated by the Librarian's Office and include correspondence (both internal and external), reports, minutes, memorandums, notes, budgets and other financial records, architectural plans, published materials, publicity materials (brochures, newspapers clippings), scrapbooks, and photographs. The records are arranged in thirteen series, six of which are based on the tenures of University Librarians: John Ridington, W. Kaye Lamb, Neal Harlow, Basil Stuart-Stubbs, Douglas McInnes, and Ruth Patrick. Four other series are based on the Assistant University Librarian positions for Public Services, Technical Services and Systems, Administrative Services, and Collections. The series "Librarian's Office - General," consists of records that overlap the tenures of more than one University Librarian. Most series are, in turn, further subdivided into sub-series. Included at the beginning of the General series are loan request records from McGill University College of B.C library. The Irving K. Barber Learning Centre series documents the Library's involvement in the planning and development of the Centre, which replaced the Main Library. The Development Office series documents the Library's fundraising function that supports various projects and programs of other branches and divisions. The Assistant University Librarian for Collections series was originally erroneously identified as the"Collections Division sous-fond."

Also included is correspondence regarding publishing some of these articles and correspondence between Copp and several professional journals.
