*UBC Library Acquires Keenlyside Legal Research Collection*
* *
A riveting collection that highlights the effects of B.C.'s colonial
justice system on Chinese and Aboriginal populations is now available at
UBC Library's Rare Books and Special Collections (RBSC).
The /John Keenlyside Legal Research Collection/ features court cases
involving Chinese and Aboriginal people as both witnesses and
defendants. The documents reveal how the 19th-century justice system and
colonial society in British Columbia related to people of Aboriginal and
Chinese descent. The collection comprises 82 files, totalling 340 documents.
John S. Keenlyside was born and raised in Vancouver and graduated from
UBC with a degree in economics and political science. In 1973 he founded
John S. Keenlyside & Co., an investment-counseling firm that he manages
with his two sons.
Keenlyside acquired the legal collection in 1991. The documents date
from 1862 to 1891 and are available to the public in the form of
coloured photocopies, which are stored at Rare Books and Special
Collections on the first level of the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre.
