Series consists of records relating to Evans' completion of his Master of Arts degree in the Department of History at the University of Victoria. Evans entered the program in 1985 and completed his thesis, The Vancouver Island Brewing Industry: 1858-1971, in 1991.

The series includes a paper and digitized copy of the thesis (files 18-20 and 21 respectively); two course papers that set out the program of study (files 2-3); chapter drafts and notes, including materials for a chapter on labour ("The Workplace") that was omitted in the final thesis (file 10); and administrative records relating to Evans' enrolment in the Master's program (file 1).

Records include notes and working papers, essays, draft chapters, and thesis; correspondence, transcripts, and letters of recommendation.
