The Anthology of Social Studies series

This book was an updated version of a 1999 publication entitled Canadian Anthology of Social Studies: Issues and Strategies for Teachers.

The first updated version completely replaced the original anthology. The title was changed slightly to The Anthology of Social Studies, and split the book into two volumes. The first volume focuses on elementary teachers, while volume 2 focuses on secondary teachers. Both volumes were published in 2008. PEP has since updated Volume 1 of the anthology, releasing it with the Updated Edition in 2013. As of 2013, Volume 2 had not been updated. Series consists of correspondence, drafts, editorial notes, and reviews.

The Corporation

The Council of University Teaching Hospitals (C.O.U.T.H.) subseries

For approximately ten years (1978-1988), the Council of University Teaching Hospitals existed as an informal organization providing discussion between the University’s Health Sciences faculties and schools and the major affiliated Teaching Hospitals. However, after much consideration, it was collectively determined that for the Council to undertake specific projects in the joint interests of its constituent organizations, actions had to be taken, resulting in the formalization of the Council and the establishment of the position of Executive Director. To this end, C.O.U.T.H. formally established itself on 15 November 1988 as a society supported by a re-established organizational and sub-committee structure under a newly formed societal Constitution and set of Bylaws.
The founding members of C.O.U.T.H. include the B.C. Children’s Hospital, the Cancer Control Agency of B.C., the Salvation Army Grace Hospital, St. Paul’s Hospital, The University of British Columbia, University Hospital, Vancouver General Hospital, and the Western Rehabilitation Society. C.O.U.T.H. comprises two primary committees that serve its mandate; these include the Council and the Operating Committee. In addition, as a cooperative society, C.O.U.T.H. serves those Teaching Hospitals having a comprehensive affiliation agreement with the University of British Columbia and the University itself.

This subseries of the Dean of Medicine series consists of minutes, reports, correspondence, studies, briefs and assessments conducted, accumulated or compiled by the Executive Director, the Council and the Operating Committee and their various sub-committees and tasks forces.

The Life and Times of Henry Morgentaler series

Directed by Audrey Mehler, The Life and Times of Henry Morgentaler (1999) is a biography of Holocaust survivor, social activist and abortionist Dr. Henry Morgentaler. Born in Poland, Morgentaler immigrated to Canada in 1950 and studied medicine. From 1967 to the present, he has been a pro-choice abortion activist and established clinics for women throughout the country. Although he spent time incarcerated for his work, he continued his crusade. He played a prominent role in influencing the Supreme Court of Canada's 1988 decision to strike down Canada's abortion law, making abortion legal. He was the first president of the Humanist Association of Canada from 1968 to 1999 and remained the organization's honorary president. The sixty-minute documentary follows Morgentaler and his son Bamie back to Poland to places of significance in his early life. It includes archival footage and interviews with close supporters, including Gertie Katz, writer/activist June Callwood, and political commentator Judy Rebick, counterbalanced with the views of pro-lifer advocates like Jim Hughes, president of Campaign Life. Also included in the documentary is a visit to Bordeaux Jail in Montreal, where Morgentaler was incarcerated for 1tenmonths in 1975. Audrey Mehler received "The Bronze Plaque" for The Life and Times of Henry Morgentaler at the 48th Annual Columbus International Film and Video Festival in 2000.

The Nature of David Suzuki fonds

  • UBCA-ARC-1538
  • Fonds
  • 1977-1997

Fonds consists of audiovisual material created or compiled during production of the film. It consists largely of interviews with Suzuki, members of his family and associates, filmed presentations by Suzuki, video clips from the CBC program, "The Nature of Things", and film of Suzuki and family members in various locations in British Columbia, Ontario and elsewhere. There are also stock shots and newscast clips related to environmental issues, and a copy of Suzuki’s debate with Philippe Rushton on the question of race and genetics.
The content of this fonds is housed on several different video and audio formats: Betacam SP, Hi-8, VHS, U-Matic tape (¾ in.), reel audio tape (¼ in.), audiocassette tape and DAT audio tape. Much of this audio and video material was used in the production of the final "cut" of the documentary, and content is represented across several of these formats, with audio content found in both audio and video formats. The larger volume of the content was recorded in the field (especially on Hi-8 and Betacam SP tape) and subsequently copied to VHS tape for editing. Detailed investigation of the VHS tapes against the Hi-8 and Betacam SP tapes will reveal whether the entire content of the latter has been copied to the former in all instances.
The original order of the content was preserved by format and the finding aid is organised on this principle. In addition, a second "intellectual" ordering of the content is provided as an appendix to the file listing: in that document the set of time-coded VHS tapes that were used for editing purposes have been utilised as the central feature of the fonds. It is hoped that this will permit researchers to see relationships that exist between the several formats.
The textual records were turned over to the University Archives by Peter Davis in 2015.
