Biographical history
Charlotte Scott Black (1902-1979) was born in Nelson, B.C., in 1902. She graduated from the University of Manitoba with a B.Sc. in Home Economics in 1925. She began teaching in Vancouver schools in that year. Black joined the faculty of the School of Home Economics at the University of Washington in 1941. Her primary responsibility was the establishment and development of the Home Management House. When the Department of Home Economics was established at UBC, she was invited to join the faculty and accepted. In 1946, she was made head of the department following the resignation of Dorothy Lefevbre. The status of Home Economics changed from a department to a school in 1951, and Black then became director until her retirement in 1965.
Custodial history
