Peak Publications Society

Publications

Series consists of publications produced by The Peak Publications Society. It includes a complete run of the two Peak predecessors, SF View, and The Tartan (sub-series 2); an ongoing run of The Peak, both in hard copy and microform (sub-series 3); the Peak Student Handbook (sub-series 4); and a separate run of The Tartan, resurrected as a magazine in 2015. Also includes other one-off or short-lived publications produced by the Society (sub-series 1), including a run of 12 issues of the Terminal City Express (1972-73), a newspaper relating to culture and politics in the Lower Mainland.

The Peak: issues

Sub-series consists of issues of The Peak student newspaper. Includes a complete set of hardcopy bound volumes and two microfilm copies (positive and negative film). The Peak publishes 13 issues each semester, starting a new volume with each semester. The microfilm sets include The Tartan and SF View, and begin with The Peak volume 1 (1965) and end with volume 98 (April 1998). The bound volumes of paper hardcopies continue past this date and regularly accrue.

The Tartan magazine: issues

Sub-series consists of issues of The Tartan magazine. The Peak Publications Society published the first issue in the fall of 2015 to celebrate SFU's 50th anniversary and in hopes of it becoming a regular publication under the former student newspaper's title. Whereas The Peak newspaper's focus is primarily on news reporting, The Tartan is intended to be a dedicated setting for fiction, poetry, artwork, photography, and long-form features about SFU. As of the second issue (spring 2016), the magazine will be published bi-annually.

Publications: general

Sub-series consists of single-issue or short-lived publications produced by The Peak Publications Society. Includes an early student directory (1967), student course guides and anti-calendars, Compass (1967), issues 1-12 of Terminal City Express (1972-1973), SNAFU Review (1978), cartoons, and an issue of Westword: Literature at Simon Fraser University (1996).

Photographs

Series consists of photographic materials created by Peak journalists and photographers in the course of publishing the student newspaper. Photos depict SFU students, faculty, staff and administrators in a variety of settings, as well as the physical environment and grounds of the university. Record types comprise contact sheets, prints, and negatives.

The series has been arranged into one sub-series. Future accruals may be organized into new sub-series, depending on format or the ways in which they were maintained by The Peak:
