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.

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.

Undergraduate Semester in Dialogue and Centre for Dialogue records

Series consists of records documenting the establishment and development of SFU's Undergraduate Semester in Dialogue (USD) program by Mark Winston in his capacity as director of the program. 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
