Coates/Cassidy sous-fonds

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 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.

Gifts and Exchanges Division sous-fonds

The Gifts and Exchanges Division was established in 1965 to take the responsibility from Acquisitions for accepting gifts from individuals and organizations and arranging exchanges of books and periodicals with other libraries. Walter Harrington was the first Division Head and was succeeded in turn by Linda Joe (Kwong) (1968-1971), Joan Selby (1971-1973), and Graham Elliston (1973-1994). After Elliston's retirement, and as part of an overall reorganization of the Library, the Division was abolished, and its functions were distributed among the other branches and service divisions.
The Acquisitions Division maintained records on gifts and exchanges until 1965. The older records were then maintained in their original order, while records created by the new Gifts and Exchanges Division were placed in a new filing system. This process was repeated when Graham Elliston became Division Head. Records dating from before 1973 were transferred to the University Archives in 1979, and the rest of the sous-fonds was acquired through the Librarian's Office in 1994.
The sous-fonds consists of records generated in the course of arranging donations to the Library, exchanges of materials with other institutions, and monetary appraisals of these materials. It includes correspondence, reports, lists of publications, financial records, and printed materials. The records are arranged in the following series: Exchanges and Serials, Gifts Received, Gift Correspondence, Corporate Gifts, and Personal Gifts.

Sedgewick Library sous-fonds

A separate library for first and second-year undergraduate students was established in 1960 when the College Library was established in the new south wing of Main Library. In 1964 it was renamed the Sedgewick Library after former professor and head of the Department of English Garnet G. Sedgewick. The growth of both its collections and the University's undergraduate population made it necessary for Sedgewick Library to move to new facilities, and in 1969 Rhone & Iredale Architects were commissioned to design a new undergraduate library. The new Sedgewick Library was opened in January 1973 – it was located underground, beneath Main Mall and directly across from Main Library. The building received several awards: 1970 Best Design Award, Canadian Architecture Yearbook; 1974 First Award of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada as the best building of all kinds built-in 1973; 1980 Honour Award, Architectural Institute of British Columbia. The continuing growth of the Library's collections eventually forced the ideal of a separate undergraduate facility to be abandoned, and in 1996 Sedgewick Library was absorbed into a new central facility, the Walter C. Koerner Library.
The sous-fonds consists primarily of records generated in planning and building the underground Sedgewick Library and includes reports, correspondence, drawings, minutes, printed materials, and photographs of the building nearing completion. These make up the Planning, Design and Construction series. There is also a series called Reports, which consists of reports on overdue books and related issues, and an Architectural Plans series.
Architectural drawings were transferred to the University Archives in 1988. They include original manuscript drawings, construction plans from the various contractors, proposals for alterations, and contractors' plans for alterations.

Special Collections Division sous-fonds

The Special Collections Division was established in 1960 to preserve and make the Library's rare and valuable books, manuscripts, maps, and special subject collections available to researchers. However, its origins date to 1943 and 1945, when the private libraries of Judge Frederic William Howay and Dr. Robie Lewis Reid, respectively, were donated to the Library. These collections included thousands of books and other publications regarding the history of British Columbia and Canada and numerous maps, photographs, and manuscripts. They together surpassed the "Canadiana" holdings of almost every other Library in the country. Since 1960 the Division's holdings have grown to include graduate theses, university archives, cartographic and architectural materials, fine press books, and early children's books. The Division has been headed by Basil Stuart-Stubbs (1960-1964), Anne Yandle (1964-1991), Hans Burndorfer (1992-1996), Brenda Peterson (1996-2001), and Ralph Stanton (2001- ). In 1991 the name was changed to "Special Collections and University Archives Division" to reflect the increased operational and administrative importance of the University Archives within both the Division and the university.
The sous-fonds consists of records generated in the course of the Division's activities and include correspondence, reports, minutes, financial documents, and printed/published materials. They are arranged in the following series: Division and Library Records, U.B.C. Committees and Departments, External Correspondence, Special Collections Records (continuation of Division and Library Records), Correspondence - Incoming and Outgoing (continuation of External Correspondence), and Map Collections.
The early records in this sous-fonds complement and, to some extent, overlap those in the Basil Stuart-Stubbs series in the Librarian's Office sous-fonds, reflecting that Stuart-Stubbs was head of the Division immediately before he became University Librarian.
