It also includes records relating to the development of SFU's Centre for Dialogue and its programs by Winston in his capacity as the Centre's academic director and as a fellow. Records include correspondence, agendas, minutes, reports, proposals, photographs, and other materials.

The series is arranged into 2 sub-series in order to keep separate the records of the USD program, which entail administrative records created and received by Winston in the course of his activities in founding, developing, and sustaining this academic program for the university. These materials are unique and considered university records. However, because Winston created and received these university records as he created and received his personal papers, the archivist opted to keep them in Winston's fonds rather than remove them to a university fonds.

Series is arranged into 2 sub-series:

  1. Undergraduate Semester in Dialogue program
  2. Centre for Dialogue
