Acquisitions Division sous-fonds
- Sous-fonds
- 1949-2004
The Acquisitions Division was established in 1948, with Samuel Rothstein as its head. It was designated to handle all accessions (books and periodicals), regardless of source (purchase, gift, or exchange), and administer the disposal of duplicate materials. A separate Serials Division was established in 1950 to handle periodicals and the Gifts and Exchanges Division in 1965. In 1991 the Division, together with the Serials Division, was reorganized to form the Order Division and the Collections Accounting and Budget, Division.
The sous-fonds consists of records generated by the Acquisitions Division and includes annual reports and correspondence with publishers, booksellers, and donors and a series related to UBC’s involvement with SHASTRI.
