University of British Columbia Archives

WEBSITE UPDATE:
We recently updated the University Archives website and are in the process of migrating content from the previous version. During this transition, some pages or resources may be temporarily unavailable. In the meantime, users can access an archived version of our previous website via the Internet Archives’s Wayback Machine. For assistance locating specific information, please contact us.

NOTICE TO RESEARCHERS:
Appointments for Rare Books and Special Collection (RBSC) and University Archives (UA) Reading Room visits are strongly encouraged. Walk-ins may be possible for easily retrievable materials, but researchers who make appointments will have materials waiting for them when they arrive, avoiding wait times for retrieval. If you would like to request RBSC or UA materials to consult in the Reading Room, please schedule an appointment at least 24 hours in advance during weekend day business hours. We encourage researchers to provide as much advance notice as possible for their requests.

The University of British Columbia Archives serves as the institution’s corporate memory by identifying, preserving, and making available for use the University’s permanently valuable records.
