The records were created between 1941 and 1982 by the British Columbia Hospital Insurance Service and its successor body, the Hospital programs branch of the Ministry of Health. The records provide evidence of the licensing function of the branch, and provide information about the administrative structure of private hospitals in the province. Under the Hospital Act (RSBC 1960, c. 178, s. 10) no private hospital could be licensed without first receiving approval from the Chief Inspector. The series also provides evidence of the closure of private hospitals and the transferal of patients to other facilities. The series also includes a number of inspection reports for private facilities, although these are by no means complete and GR-2565 and GR-2567 provide additional inspection reports.

The series is arranged alphabetically by property name.

The series consists of records of the Program Coordinating Committee of the Universities Council of British Columbia. One of four standing committees, the legislated purpose of the committee was to advise and make recommendations to the Council on all matters pertaining to university programs. The role of the committee was to review and make recommendations on proposals for new programs of study at the public universities; to review existing university programs to identify special areas of interest and expertise at each university and to reduce unnecessary duplication; to identify areas for inter-university cooperation; to assist in the coordination of the delivery of distance education; and, to examine the role of the universities in the development of in-service training and re-training for the professions.

The records document the committee’s function of evaluating proposals for new undergraduate and graduate programs at the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, the University of Victoria, and the Open Learning Institute. The committee numbered each proposal, and these original codes were maintained by the archivist.

Record types include correspondence, memoranda, press releases and clippings, committee resolutions, course/program descriptions, reports, and discussion papers. The records typically include the wording of motions concerning new programs which the Program Coordinating Committee sent to Council. Correspondence typically is to and from the committee, the council, university presidents and vice presidents, and faculty heads and members.

The subject matter of the records reflects the criteria the committee used in weighing the merits of each specific proposed new program of study. For this reason, the records reflect information on the credentials to be awarded to graduates; a description of each new university program; discussion of the need for and objectives of the proposed program; enrolment projections; institutional resources and need (new faculty or administrative staff required); budget required (indirect and direct costs); employment prospects for graduates of the new program; the relationship with other existing programs at BC universities (including duplication); and the results of consultation with the other BC universities and non-university groups, including letters of support for the new program proposals.
