The series consists of the development of the code book, printouts of data, and specific contextual information pertinent to the study that was included in a database. This data was used to compute statistical analyses and derive conclusions. It includes the work of studies done by other researchers on related topics. The order of the printouts has been retained as it is believed they were in their original order when reviewed during processing.
This series is dedicated to Sybren’s Lecture and Course Notes from his time as a demonstrator of Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto and his time as an associate professor and professor at the University of British Columbia. For over a decade, Sybren taught Civil Engineering 353 and Civil Engineering 453 at UBC. This series includes mathematical problems that he would give to his students, exam preparation notes, and reading lists.
This series includes correspondence and minutes from various associations in that Sybren participated. The Association of Professional Engineers minutes from 1960-1977 is quite comprehensive. It also includes some papers forwarded to him from colleagues and students, correspondence, and other documents related to professional conferences and other scholarly activities.
Series consists of video recordings made for a documentary on the history of the Fraser Canyon (titled “On The Fraser”), focusing on the First Nations of that region and the building of the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National railways. It was a joint project by the UBC Departments of Geography and Theatre and Film, with graduate students led by Raymond Hall (Theatre and Film) and Cole Harris (Geography). All recordings are in Betacam format.
The series consists of books, publications, and other written or printed material created and received by Lee in both his public and private spheres. Records include publications from various clan associations in different regions and business cards from members of these associations, indicating the wide network of friendships and acquaintanceships Lee had made during his time with Lee’s Benevolent Association of Canada as well as in his other public-facing roles. The series also offers insight into Lee’s spiritual and literary interests; relevant records include divination and fortune telling guides, poetry, calligraphy, classic literature, opera, and other reading material related to the arts.
Series consists of notebooks not associated with any particular work by Lowry and Margerie, organized chronologically and by location. Both Lowry and Margerie kept notebooks, mostly palm sized and bound with staples, which they filled with thoughts and ideas, some of which developed into poems and manuscripts. Contents include bound notebooks, loose pages, and typewritten fragments of notes.
Series consists of published works by Lowry organized by publication date. Contents include: juvenilia, published primarily in the Leys Public School's journal, the Leys Fortnightly, poetry and short stories published in anthologies, and poetry and short stories published in magazines and journals, during Lowry's lifetime and posthumously. Posthumous publications were predominantly the result of submissions and requests made by Earle Birney and Margerie Lowry to various magazines and journals, though in many cases Lowry's work was sought out for publication in anthologies and collections of poetry and short stories, and for spotlight features about Lowry (see the Earle Birney Papers sous-fonds for correspondence about some posthumous publication of Lowry's writing).
Series documents the professional and personal activities of Minoru Kudo through his diaries and correspondence. The series is divided into three subseries that correspond to how the materials were organized by the creators: the original diaries, original correspondence, and photocopies that were made for use in translation and for preservation purposes. Records in this series include diaries; correspondence; and materials relating to the Kudo family’s involvement in the Japanese Canadian redress movement.
Series documents the work of Kathleen Kudo to translate Minoru Kudo’s diaries as well as the research performed by the Kudo family to document the history and experiences of the Mission City Japanese Community.
Records in this series include logs relating to the translation and photocopying activity of Kathleen Merken; her translation notes; additional documents related to ideas about publication and framing of the diaries and their historical value; and printed versions of the translations in various states of drafting. During the process of translation, Merken removed clippings and other ephemera that were initially preserved within the diaries of Minoru Kudo and placed them in their corresponding chronological place within the translations. As a result, these materials are also included within this series.
The series includes one subseries that contains the translation documents and a second that contains the research material.
