Special hearings

In the fall of 1969, nine professors in the Department of Political Science, Sociology, and Anthropology withdrew their services in response to the department being put under trusteeship by the University administration. The University appointed a trustee because of allegations of departmental mismanagement of finances. The department also did not produce a constitution and tenure committee structure that were acceptable to the University administration. Various student and faculty support strikes and protest actions followed. The President suspended nine PSA faculty members who were most actively involved in the strike and later fired seven of them.

The series comprises audio recordings of the suspension hearings held by the Board of Governors for six of those faculty members. The Board conducted the hearings to enable faculty members to appeal their suspension by the President. In each case, the Board upheld the decision by the President to suspend the faculty members. Additional legal proceedings followed the suspension hearings.

In most cases, the documents formed part of packages that were sent to Board members, selected University officials, and campus organizations prior to each Board meeting. A few documents were kept by the Board secretary for her own reference and did not circulate. After 2003, agenda support papers were filed in docket packages alongside the meeting agendas and minutes. To view support papers from 2004 onwards, see series F-33-10 Meeting dockets.

Email records

Series consists of email messages sent or received by Fellman from his SFU email account (fellman_AT_sfu.ca). Activities documented include personal correspondence with family and friends; exchanges with other scholars relating to research interests; correspondence with his literary agent, publishers, and media outlets; academic and professional work, including conference attendance, teaching, supervision of graduate students, and SFU administrative duties; and Fellman's work as a board member of Jewish Family Services Vancouver and the College of Psychologists of British Columbia. Activities, topics, and correspondents overlap considerably with records (paper, analog, and digital) contained in all other series in the fonds.

The vast bulk of the emails date from 2000-2008. That Fellman's account was still active after 2008 is indicated by a small number of 2012 sent emails, print copies of post-2008 emails included in the paper files, and the fact that a large number of emails were received by the account after his death (mostly deleted by the archivist, see the General note on appraisal below). In 2008-2009 SFU moved to the Zimbra Collaboration Suite email platform. Most of Fellman's surviving email predates this switch, as indicated by the mailbox folder names ("Eudora/" and "SFUWebmail-old/"). All this suggests that virtually all Fellman's email from his Zimbra account was deleted at some point in 2012 and that what survives in the email archive are mainly messages carried forward from the old systems.

The Archives has retained the email as a single series, with no arrangement into sub-series. At the time the account was backed up and put offline (2013), the email was organized into three main groups of folders: the Inbox and Outbox of the current Zimbra account; a group of folders originating with the Eudora email platform; and a third group labelled "SFUWebmail-old." This mailbox structure is preserved in the email archive as processed by the archivist, and the messages can all be viewed in the context of their original folders at time of transfer.

The archivist used ePADD software to process the email and applied only minimal post-transfer curation: basic descriptive information was provided at the ePADD collection and accession levels (see the note on Finding aids below); appraisal and selection was applied (see the General note on appraisal below); and the list of correspondents was normalized where possible so that an individual's various email aliases are grouped under a single entry in the form LastName, FirstName. But no tags, annotations or restrictions were applied at the individual message level.

Note that there is some overlap with series 7, Desktop correspondence and working files. Some of the electronic documents retained by Fellman on his computer (series 7) appear to be copies of messages exported / migrated from the email system to Word or text documents.

Digital photographs

Series consists of digital photographs maintained by Fellman on two working computers, an iMac and a MacBook Pro. See the note on Arrangement in series 7 for more information about the organization of Fellman's computer files. The photos were managed in Mac's iPhoto applicable. Some images appear to have been uploaded directly from camera, but others are likely to have been received as considerably smaller derivatives of photos created by someone else. The original format for all still images was jpg. The series also includes three short home-movie videos (in files 3 and 8) stored as avi files.

The content of the photos document scenes from everyday life and includes pictures of family and grandchildren, gatherings of family and friends, vacation photos, and scenes from Fellman and Aloi's home on Pender Island, BC.

Desktop correspondence and working files

Series consists of textual records maintained by Fellman in digital form on his working computer(s).

Records include correspondence with family, friends, and colleagues; personal academic references given by Fellman; teaching materials and course descriptions; meeting agendas, minutes and other records arising from Fellman's academic and administrative work at SFU; drafts of Fellman's journalism pieces, book reviews, academic articles, papers, and talks, sometimes in multiple versions; and research notes and reference materials. Some of the correspondence appears to have been exported from Fellman's email and migrated to different formats (Word, text files).

All materials were intermixed by Fellman in simple year-based folders, and this organization is reflected in the current arrangement (see the note on Arrangement below for more detail).

Files are arranged chronologically.
