The Slocan History Series by Professor Emeritus Cole Harris (1936-2022) in UBC’s Department of Geography, is available in cIRcle. The series documents the social and industrial history of British Columbia’s Slocan Valley, including early settler experiences and resource development.
The series was recently featured in a news story by UBC Library Communications & Marketing Manager, Anna Moorhouse: UBC Library makes the Slocan History Series openly available through cIRcle.
A key part of the project was collaboration with Harris’s family, and the article highlights how cIRcle services can provide long-term access and preservation of unique, local outputs created by our UBC community. This extends their reach beyond the physical copies, allowing researchers, students, and the public worldwide to engage with this regional history. This initiative underscores UBC Library’s commitment to open access and to preserving regional history for a wider public audience.
