One of our collection’s areas of strength is the history of the forestry industry in B.C. We’re therefore happy to present a new research guide on Forestry History and Archives. Here you will find links to archival collections at Rare Books and Special Collections and University Archives about foresters and the forestry industry, information on photographic collections, theses and dissertations, and historical associations.

We are very happy to have this subject guide linked from both Rare Books and Special Collections list of guides as well as from our colleagues in the Life Sciences libraries. Thank you to RBSC student assistant Laura Hébert for her great work on this guide!

March 15th, 2012 by csylka | Comments Off on Three new transportation-related research guides
Three new transportation-related research guides have been added to the David Lam Library website. David Lam librarians designed these guides to provide researchers and students with credible starting points for researching transportation related topics.
The guides identify relevant books and media, article sources, databases, industry associations, government agencies, and scholarly resources. They also include tips on effective search strategies for transportation topics, by using appropriate search terms and subject headings.
Click on individual guides for access, or visit the David Lam Library homepage (http://www.library.ubc.ca/lam) and find them by clicking on the Research Guides link.
If you have questions or feedback about the guide, please contact the David Lam Library.
