TRIUMF correspondence files

This series consists of files created by SFU faculty and administrators who served as SFU representatives on the TRIUMF Board of Management in the first half of the 1980s. The material (some of it originally housed in binders) appears to have been transferred at some point in the early 1990s to Academic Planning Services and consolidated into a single block. Activities and topics documented in the files include planning for the construction of a KAON factory, contribution funding, negotiation of a borrowing agreement, IT planning, patent policy, employee relations, the review of TRIUMF by the NRC (1983), the internal review of the Operations Committee (1984-1985), and TRIUMF's 10th anniversary celebrations in 1985. Records include correspondence, reports, meeting summaries, agreements, legal advice, notes and working papers, and TRIUMF newsletters and other printed matter.
