Sous-fonds consists of feasibility studies, functional programs, proposals and plans for the campus (1970-1982). They are arranged in five series: UBC Facilities (1969-1982), Feasibility Studies (1967-1980), Functional Programs (1978-1979), Proposals (1979-1983), and Slides. Many materials pre-date the creation of the Department. Two oversize items are stored separately.

The Data Library was set up in 1972 to acquire, store, and make available for research information kept in electronic format. The primarily statistical data was maintained for research in economics, demography, public opinion, geography, and other social sciences. It was operated jointly by the Library and the University Computing Centre. In 1998, the Humanities and Social Sciences / Government Publications Division absorbed the Data Library and became known as Numeric Data Services.
The sous-fonds consists of both records generated by the Data Library and printed information derived from or supplementary to the electronic data in its holdings. It includes contracts and other agreements covering data release to the Data Library, codebooks for electronic data, printed reports, and related documentation.

The Crane Library collects resources for UBC staff, students, and faculty who are blind, visually impaired, or have print disabilities. Resources include university-level textbooks, course materials, leisure reading, and reference materials recorded in digital audio, braille, large print, and electronic text. The library also has various other technical resources and services. Founded in 1968, the library began with Charles Crane’s collection and has dramatically expanded.

Sous-fonds consists of administrative records related to funding, copyright, students, and the various programs and services of the library, including copies of materials that were read aloud and translated into braille. Sous-fonds is divided into administration, catalogue and materials, committees, services and advocacy, and reference.

Sous-fonds consists of scrapbooks of photographs, clippings, and leaflets assembled by Coulthard's mother, Jean Robinson Coulthard, between 1898 and 1929, documenting her career as a music teacher as the recital performances of her children and students. Sous-fonds also includes scrapbooks compiled by Jean Coulthard's sister Margaret, family photographs, and an album compiled by her father, Dr. Walter Coulthard, depicting the Rossland area (ca. 1902).

Carol Coates was born in 1906 in Japan, where her parents were missionaries. She received her early education in Japan and later attended the University of British Columbia. Her future husband, Eugene Cassidy, and Roy Daniells became close friends, sharing a love of literature. The Cassidys were married in 1930 and returned to Japan, where they remained for some years. The correspondence with Daniells is romantic, savouring of spiritual and poetic inspiration and unrequited love (she called him "Dante" and signed herself "Beatrice"). After returning from Japan, Coates taught in Toronto and was connected with Steiner education in New York, England and Edinburgh. She published two books of poetry, Fancy Free and Invitation to Mood.
Eugene Cassidy was also born in Japan to missionary parents, was educated in Japan, and attended British Columbia University. He returned to Japan in 1930, where he taught school and became intensely interested in photography. He and his family came to Canada in 1938, and Cassidy began work as a photographer in Toronto. He and Coates later separated, and Cassidy went to New York to become a successful contract photographer for Conde Nash. His photography, particularly his Japanese landscape work, has received considerable recognition, and in 1981 there was a retrospective of his work at the Art Gallery of Ontario. However, because of his frequent moves, many of his Japanese photographs have disappeared, and it is probable that some of the small prints in this collection are unique.
The sous-fonds consist of letters, hand-made poetry books, photographs, a photograph album, and an album of Japanese "shugibukuso," envelopes the Japanese use to present money. The correspondence dates from 1930 to 1953, the majority of the letters being written in the 1930s from Japan.
The materials in this group of papers were segregated from the main series primarily because they were fragile and easy to use. The correspondence was initially been in chronological order by year with other correspondence. The photographs and small poetry booklets, however, had been kept separately. A large portion of the correspondence between Daniells and Coates was returned to Carol Coates in 1942 and subsequently destroyed.

The sous-fonds consists of constitutional amendments, board meetings, executive meeting files and correspondence made or received by CIPS, and some miscellaneous records created before the name changes. However, the majority of records originated from the time that James M. Kennedy was the president of CIPS.

Sous-fonds consists of annual reports and articles of agreement with the International Brotherhood of Bookbinders.

The Asian Library/Centre opened in 1960. It was dedicated to holding a research collection of Asian language materials, initially as the Asian Studies division of the Main Library (now the Irving K Barber Learning Centre). The collection is now located inside the Asian Centre, which opened in 1981. Represented in its resources are Chinese, Tibetan, Sanskrit, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Persian, Indonesian across many disciplines, with a strong focus on humanities and social sciences.

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.
