BCIT Part-time Program Calendars

Subseries consists of the part-time studies program calendars. Between 1964 and 1995 all calendars were produced in a booklet-bound format. 1981 saw the introduction of semester-specific newsprint calendars and brochure type supplements for specific schools, trades and technologies. Part-time program calendars (from 1965 to 2006) are available in digital PDF format. The Spring/Summer 2007 Part-time Studies guide is significantly different from previous versions. It has less than half the number of pages, and the dimensions of the guide are also smaller. The publication is marketing focused, highlighting the benefits of attending BCIT part-time, and giving overviews of our areas of study. It features short descriptions of programs and subject areas, and lists the course names and codes of those offered this term. This format does not include course descriptions. Readers were directed to visit the BCIT web for these details. Single issue of Part-time studies calendar from fall 2012.

Vachon correspondence, 1971-1977

This series consists of four typed letters collected by Fernando Vachon. One letter, written in 1971 by P.J. Moloney, a Urologist at Vancouver General Hospital, is perhaps related to Fernando Vachon’s contribution to the construction of a hemodialysis machine. One of the letters concerns an airlift crane write-up by Vachon and Kenneth G. Fraser in 1971, submitted to Boeing Aerospace Group, Vertol Division, in Pennsylvania. The remaining two letters are to do with Vachon’s retirement from CP Air in 1977.
