Administrative history
Established in 1970 by Dr. Barry Leach, the Institute of Environmental Studies sought to encourage greater public engagement with environmental issues, particularly those impacting ecosystems in the “College Region.” One of its stated objectives was to disseminate the results of studies and projects to public and private groups so they might further “their own work towards a better use of the environment.” The Institute offered non-credit courses, published a series of Information Booklets and other monographs on a range of topics, hosted workshops and lecture series, and collaborated on conservation projects with civil society organizations like Ducks Unlimited, with which it operated an Environmental Study Centre in a conservation area called the Serpentine Fen. The Institute of Environmental Studies was based at the College’s Surrey campus. In 1981, when the College divided, the Institute became part of the newly formed Kwantlen College.
Custodial history
Materials were donated to the Archives in two accessions circa 1983. Accession documentation does not specify where the records were held prior to arriving in the Archives, only that their administrative origin is the Institute of Environmental Studies.
Scope and content
Series consists of materials pertaining to the Douglas College Institute of Environmental Studies. The majority of records in this series are copies of "Information Booklets" published by the Institute on a range of environmental and conservation topics. Other materials include correspondence, meeting minutes, newsletters, planning documents, and reports.
