Are there any databases for manuscript/unpublished documents archives?
From the Library home page select ‘Branches’ (blue menu bar at top of screen), followed by ‘Rare Books & Special Collections’ alternatively ‘University Archives’. Browsing through these pages will give you a sense of the rich and diverse archival and special collections materials available at UBC. Your best bet is to visit Rare Books & Special Collections and the University Archives, especially if your research is on a topic related to British Columbia or Canada. You can then talk to their specialist staff and browse through their printed archival guides and inventories. For information on searching for archival material in Canada, with an emphasis on British Columbia, check out Archival research.
