Archives of note recently added at Rare Books and Special Collections:
Peter Faminow fonds: Peter Faminow was born in Alberta to Doukhobor parents. He studied law, and became actively involved in the Doukhobor youth movement. He helped organize the 1958 Conference on Peace through Non-violence, authored a column called “Dasha” in the Doukhobor publication Mir, and served as the secretary-treasurer of the Union of Doukhobors in Canada. After relocating to North Vancouver to practice law, Faminow served as a councillor and alderman for the District of North Vancouver between 1960 and 1974. The fonds contains documents related to both Faminow’s career as a layer and politician, and also related to his involvement in the Doukhobor community, including rare documents circulated in the Doukhobor community in the 1920’s-1950’s, documents related to the New Denver school issue, and correspondence with Koozma Tarasoff. The finding aid for the fonds can be found here: http://www.library.ubc.ca/spcoll/AZ/PDF/EFG/Faminow_Peter.pdf.
