1. WHAT THIS COURSE IS ABOUT<br />
<strong>History</strong> 490N is a seminar course for students who are majoring in <strong>History</strong>. The goal <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>History</strong> 490 sections is to provide <strong>History</strong> majors with the experience <strong>of</strong> participating in small<br />
seminars and <strong>of</strong> conducting primary research. The seminar format means that learning will take<br />
place through student discussion and student presentations. The instructor’s role will be to<br />
facilitate discussion rather than lecture. There will be no course examination.<br />
This seminar will explore themes in the history <strong>of</strong> the city <strong>of</strong> Vancouver, <strong>British</strong> <strong>Columbia</strong>, from<br />
its origins as a place <strong>of</strong> non-Native settlement to the present day. While readings and student<br />
papers will focus primarily on the core city, research papers can also include historical<br />
experience in the surrounding suburbs. The readings assigned are meant to introduce students to<br />
literature on the subject <strong>of</strong> Vancouver history, and are but a sampling <strong>of</strong> the larger body <strong>of</strong><br />
writing about the city. A bibliography for HIST 490N is attached to the course description on<br />
the <strong>History</strong> <strong>Department</strong> web page. While most <strong>of</strong> the journal articles and book chapters chosen<br />
for seminar discussion explore Vancouver’s history, for the weeks when students are leading<br />
class discussion they (the leaders) may be expected to draw insights from historical literature<br />
about the urban experience elsewhere in North America. Furthermore, when researching and<br />
writing their research papers students will be expected to ask in what ways Vancouver’s history<br />
was unique, and in what manner it conformed to more broadly defined patterns <strong>of</strong> historical<br />
experience. In other words, students are required to keep this comparative dimension in mind<br />
when framing and analyzing their research topics about Vancouver.<br />
2. COURSE STRUCTURE<br />
Because <strong>History</strong> 490N is a seminar, the grade distribution centres on a) the research and writing<br />
<strong>of</strong> a primary research-based paper and b) student participation.<br />
a) RESEARCH PAPER: The paper will be presented in stages, with a topic and<br />
preliminary proposal due in WEEK 5 (Friday February 3). All students will present<br />
a formal proposal (orally and in a 1-2 page written statement) to their class in Week 9<br />
1
(February 28/March 1). The first draft <strong>of</strong> papers will be presented in classes from<br />
Weeks 12-14 (starting on Tuesday, March 20 and ending Thursday, April 5). Students<br />
who present their papers in Weeks 12 or 13 will have more time to revise and develop<br />
their papers than others who present at the end <strong>of</strong> the course. The final draft <strong>of</strong> your<br />
research paper should be no longer than 5000 words (about 16 pages, double-spaced,<br />
12-point font) and is due no later than Friday, April 20, 2012. In Weeks 12-14 each<br />
student will also be asked to present a short verbal critique <strong>of</strong> one other student’s<br />
research paper.<br />
b) STUDENT PARTICIPATION: Twenty percent (20%) <strong>of</strong> the course grade will be<br />
given for contribution to in-class discussions in the seminar, with eighty percent (80%)<br />
for other elements. Marks will be distributed as follows:<br />
a) Class participation................................................ 20%<br />
b) Rolf Knight essay………………………………. 5%<br />
b) Essay proposal and bibliography.......................... 10%<br />
c) Seminar readings presentation (written and oral) 10%<br />
d) First draft <strong>of</strong> research paper............................... 15%<br />
e) Critique <strong>of</strong> draft <strong>of</strong> one other student’s paper........ 5%<br />
f) Final Paper............................................................. 35%<br />
Students will be asked to make four presentations in class: 1) for Week 2 everyone<br />
will be asked to make a critical comment on the Major Matthews Collection <strong>of</strong> the<br />
City <strong>of</strong> Vancouver Archives (available online) as an historical source; 2) in Week 5<br />
students will present first a preliminary proposal to me only and then in Week 9 a<br />
formal research paper proposal to their class; other students will have read the<br />
proposal through an e-mail submission and will come to class prepared to ask<br />
questions about the proposed project; 3) for four weeks <strong>of</strong> the course three or four<br />
students per week will lead the discussion based on both the core and supplementary<br />
readings for that week, and will submit a short 4-5 page paper based on the readings;<br />
and 4) in the final classes <strong>of</strong> the year students will present a ten-minute summary <strong>of</strong><br />
the completed first draft <strong>of</strong> their research papers, to be given orally in one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
classes in Weeks 12-14.<br />
3. COURSE MATERIALS<br />
a) Course pack <strong>of</strong> readings in UBC Bookstore<br />

4. City <strong>of</strong> Vancouver Archives, online source: Major Matthews’ Early<br />
Vancouver.<br />
B. Workshop: This week we want to talk about how sources are used in the writing <strong>of</strong><br />
history. Start by reading through the <strong>History</strong> <strong>Department</strong>’s “Writing Centre”<br />
sections on sources, then read the McDonald and Barman pieces. McDonald’s<br />
chapter is a standard form <strong>of</strong> historical writing based on primary and secondary<br />
sources. Barman’s book on Portugese Joe Silvey is important for its use <strong>of</strong> oral<br />
sources. Now go to the online version <strong>of</strong> Major Matthews’ Early Vancouver. In<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the seven volumes <strong>of</strong> evidence in this collection explore, and be ready to<br />
report to class on, some aspect <strong>of</strong> Burrard Inlet history that is recounted in the<br />
Matthews material and that you think is overlooked or misunderstood by Barman<br />
or McDonald. The point <strong>of</strong> the exercise is to think about the historical value <strong>of</strong> a<br />
primary source such as Matthews’ Early Vancouver.<br />

PRESENTATION OF RESEARCH PAPER PROPOSALS<br />
5
Joy Dixon and Jeffrey Alexander, in their Nelson Guide to Writing in <strong>History</strong>, second<br />
edition (2010), write the following about research proposals: “Once you have identified worthwhile<br />
sources and appropriate research questions, it is time to draft a proposal that draws them all<br />
together…here are some general tips on how to approach it. You should begin by outlining your<br />
topic. Describe its importance and discuss your sources, both primary and secondary, in detail.<br />
Summarize the sorts <strong>of</strong> historical debates that authors have been having about the subject. (This<br />
brief discussion <strong>of</strong> the existing secondary sources is known as a literature review). Finally,<br />
introduce and discuss your proposed research questions along with any preliminary conclusions<br />
or expectations that have been drawn. These can later be developed into the central argument, or<br />
thesis, <strong>of</strong> your essay. Of course, your final conclusions may contrast sharply with your initial<br />
expectations. This is one <strong>of</strong> the things that characterizes good research. Just as a police <strong>of</strong>ficer<br />
investigating a crime may have to change hypotheses as she or he uncovers new evidence, you<br />
should also be prepared to discover unexpected and interesting results as you proceed with your<br />
research.” (pp.34-35)<br />

6. POSSIBLE ESSAY TOPICS: This assignment is open to a wide range <strong>of</strong> potential subjects<br />
about Vancouver’s past. The following are a number <strong>of</strong> topic ideas that you may want to<br />
consider. You are also encouraged to identify alternatives. One cautionary note must be<br />
considered when defining a topic, however. Research papers must address historical problems in<br />
an analytical manner and must employ primary sources that are readily available to UBC<br />
students. For these reasons some potential ideas may not be feasible. Your preliminary work in<br />
early September, then, must (i) not only identify a good idea but (ii) also determine if the idea is<br />
practical. All topic suggestions should receive my approval before you proceed past the<br />
preliminary stage <strong>of</strong> your research.<br />

7. SOURCES: ORAL HISTORY<br />
The sources that we are using in this course are mainly textual. One other types <strong>of</strong> source, oral<br />
history, also <strong>of</strong>fers potentially fruitful ways to understand past experience in Vancouver. The<br />
value <strong>of</strong> oral history is that it can generate insights about the lives <strong>of</strong> ordinary people that are<br />
difficult to find in textual sources such as government documents or newspapers. A good<br />
introduction to the use <strong>of</strong> interviews for research in family history can be found in through the<br />
UBC Instrcc website. Look for the online piece by Alejandra Yoshizawa, “Listen and Learn:<br />
Oral <strong>History</strong> at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>British</strong> <strong>Columbia</strong>.”<br />
8. SOURCES: NEWSPAPERS<br />
Good collections <strong>of</strong> <strong>British</strong> <strong>Columbia</strong> newspapers are available on micr<strong>of</strong>ilm on the second floor<br />
level <strong>of</strong> the Koerner Library and in the Central Branch <strong>of</strong> the Vancouver Public Library. A<br />
complete list <strong>of</strong> UBC’s holdings can be found in a file in the Koerner Library’s Reference<br />
Division. The best sources for newspaper holding are:<br />
1. Hana Komorous, comp. Union Catalogue <strong>of</strong> <strong>British</strong> <strong>Columbia</strong> Newspapers, 3 vols.<br />
(Vancouver, 1987) [ZPN 4917 B72 K65 1987].<br />
OR<br />
2. UBC Library’s On-line Catalogue <strong>of</strong> <strong>British</strong> <strong>Columbia</strong> newspapers [start with file<br />
system UBC Library, then Electronic Resources, and then BC Newspapers].<br />
9. SOURCES: NEWSPAPER INDEXES<br />
You should know about two important B.C. newspapers indexes. Both are on the second floor<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Koerner Library: the first (BC Newspaper Index) is in the micr<strong>of</strong>ilm section on floor 2<br />
(Catalogue No. R. 5065); the second (Colonist Index) a micr<strong>of</strong>iche and is located at the back <strong>of</strong><br />
the micr<strong>of</strong>ilm section.<br />
(a) B.C. Legislative Library. BC Newspaper Index, 1800–1970 [gap 1910–1915 and<br />
spotty coverage to 1930], 1971–80, 1981– (May 1983). Only Vancouver and Victoria<br />
newspapers, but different papers at different times. [Micr<strong>of</strong>ilm R5065]. The gap in the<br />
BC Newspaper Index for Victoria and Vancouver papers after 1910 has been filled<br />
through 1917 by a comprehensive indexing project conducted by the <strong>British</strong> <strong>Columbia</strong><br />
Provincial Library. The new index has not been micr<strong>of</strong>ilmed and is available only in the<br />
Provincial Library in Victoria; access is restricted when the legislature is in session.<br />
8
(b) An index to the New Westminster <strong>Columbia</strong>n is available at the New<br />
Westminster library, and newspaper clipping files are available at the City <strong>of</strong><br />
Vancouver Archives and at the Provincial Archives (in the Vertical File,on micr<strong>of</strong>iche).<br />
10. ARCHIVES IN THE GREATER <strong>VANCOUVER</strong> AREA: The finding aids <strong>of</strong> the<br />
archives located in and around Vancouver can be accessed by searching on Google for<br />
“The <strong>British</strong> <strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>History</strong> Internet/Web Site”. At UBC there are two separate<br />
archives: 1) UBC Rare Books and Special Collections, which holds the Chung<br />
Collection; and 2) UBC <strong>University</strong> Archives. Both have their own web pages and both<br />
are physically located in the lower area <strong>of</strong> the Barber Library. Many other archives,<br />
including the City <strong>of</strong> Vancouver Archives, also have their own web pages. These various<br />
archives include:<br />
