Curriculum Guides and Related Publications, 1914-1969
Curriculum guides — or, as they were officially known, Programmes of Study — provide a wealth of information on the public schools of British Columbia from 1914 to 1969. Not only do these records provide details about curricula content and classroom activities; they also offer insights into the philosophies and practices of contemporary educators and administrators.
Curriculum guides issued between 1914 and 1949 and from 1960 to 1969 are itemized below. [A listing for the 1950s is in progress]. Titles listed with a UBC item number are available on microfilm in the Curriculum Library at The University of British Columbia and in the libraries of other provincial universities and university-colleges. Microfilm copies are also available in the Reference Room of the British Columbia Archives.
