History
Since the initial donation by Margerie Lowry in 1961, multiple contributors have added to RBSC’s collection of materials pertaining to the life and works of Malcolm Lowry. In most cases, the only materials from these donors and sellers held by RBSC is related to Malcolm Lowry. The Collection is also a landmark collection for UBC and receives a relatively high degree of interaction from scholars around the world and others. Given this, in 1985 RBSC collated materials, collections, and fonds pertaining to Malcolm Lowry under a single umbrella collection, which has evolved into the current Malcolm Lowry Manuscripts Collection. Organizing Lowry materials under a single umbrella collection allows for ease of search for researchers and greater intellectual control for RBSC over this key collection of records.
