Reference Division sous-fonds

Providing reference services for its patrons - helping them find research materials and teaching them how to use the Library - is one of the Library's core functions.

The Division was responsible for coordinating all reference services until 1960 when it was disbanded and its staff and services distributed among the newly-created subject divisions. There was an addition to this sous-fonds of 5 cm of textual material by Associate University Librarian, Research, Lea Starr, in January 2020.
The sous-fonds consists of the Division's monthly and annual reports and minutes of its staff meetings, bound into six volumes.
