Scope and content
With collections and services that reflect Aboriginal teaching, learning, and research approaches, the X̱wi7x̱wa Library is the centre of academic and community Indigenous scholarship. In the early 1970s, it began as the "Indian Education Resource Centre." In May 1993, the First Nations House of Learning Longhouse and Library facility opened with a $1 million donation from William and June Bellman. In 1995, Gene Joseph was appointed as the Library's first Head Librarian. The Library became a branch of the UBC Library in 2005.
The sous-fonds consists of records generated in the course of X̱wi7x̱wa Library activities and includes correspondences, reports, meetings' minutes and agenda, memos, budgets, applications, notes, class/course materials, conference materials, newsletters, journals, newspapers clippings, and photographs. It is divided into seven series – "Indian Education Resources Centre" (IERC), administration, programs and projects, committees, conferences, miscellaneous, and photographs.
