Biographical history
Roger Stonebanks was born in Harrow-on-the-Hill, London, England, on March 27, 1940. He immigrated to Canada in 1959, and arrived in British Columbia in 1962, settling in Victoria. Stonebanks worked as a journalist until his retirement in 2000. He wrote for The Canadian Press (1956-1964), the Victoria Daily Times (1964-1980), and the Victoria Times Colonist (1980-2000). He served as the Western Canada Vice-President of the Newspaper Guild (1973-1985), as President and as Vice-President for the Victoria Newspaper Guild (1966-1995), and as Co-Chairperson for the Victoria Joint Council of Newspaper Unions (1971-1995). In 2004, he published the book "Fighting for Dignity: The Ginger Goodwin Story." A portion of the research Stonebanks conducted for this book also appeared in other forms as newspaper articles for various publications.
Custodial history
Records were in the custody of Roger Stonebanks until their acquisition by Simon Fraser University Library Special Collections and Rare Books in 2015.
Scope and content
Collection consists of records created or accumulated by Roger Stonebanks over the course of, and following, his research for the book “Fighting for Dignity: The Ginger Goodwin Story,” published in 2004, as well as for numerous newspaper articles about Goodwin, mining, and labour history in British Columbia. Records include interview notes, correspondence, photographs and other graphic material, audio cassette tapes containing interview recordings and radio broadcasts, research records from various sources, and Stonebanks’ notes about sources consulted. Research records are primarily reproductions from sources such as museums and archives, and include records such as birth, death and marriage certificates, photographs, and newspaper articles. Some records date past 2004, after the publication of Stonebanks’ books, and thus were not used as research sources. The collection also contains various articles reviewing and publicizing Stonebanks’ book.
Collection has been arranged into the following four series: Correspondence (1985-2004); Subject files (1908-2011); General clippings and publicity (1990-2010); and Photographs (1909-2004).
