This dedication invitation and accompanying letter explaining it was very important in regards to our understanding of Stong College. This document spoke of the creation of Stong College, its roots and whom it was named and created in honor of. It addressed the culture of the college, and the many events it held for its students. The address and invitation to the dedication event spoke directly to our research question in explaining that the development of Stong College from 1969 until the dedication ceremony in 1979, had benefitted and filled the needs of the general public and the university. It is also with this source which we learned that Stong was one of the original 5 residential-academic sub-communities and colleges to be built on campus.

This newspaper article found in the archives discusses the development of Scott Library in 1971. It allows us to see how the Keele campus has changed physically overtime based on the students’ needs who are attending it by exploring the need for this specific library. Described as a “modernistic library nestled on the campus of York University” this article pronounced the need for a new learning resource centre that is equipped with technological aids that will support students in their independent research at the University.

This archival information was used in the research collection of information regarding the creation of Stong College in 1969. More specifically, it was with this promotional flyer which we learned that Stong College was a commuter college which prided itself with its reputation as a college with spirit and creativity. The flyer was clearly a representation of one of many events that the college held which sought to unite the students of Stong outside of just the academia.

This article discusses the development of York University and outlines the importance that the founders of York placed on educational values within the courses it offers, the teachers it hires as well as the campus development. This past focus that the founders placed on the values of York is important to understand for our project because they are reflective on the development of the York Campus today.

This article observes the impact of interactive mapping as a geographical tool that uses visuals and technology to create an experience that the public can use for various things. This article is important to us as this project is based on the creation of an interactive walking tour that incorporates images and text to allow students to learn more about the history and development of the Keele Campus.
Macdonald, H. York University Toronto, Ont. President's Commission on Goals and Objectives Report. Ontario: The Commission, 1977.
This report outlines the objectives and goals set for the future of York University Keele Campus through a deep analysis of the historical past of York where they provide context such as: admissions standards, administration, York's location in the scholarly community as well as York's location in the physical community. This is an excellent resource for this project as it demonstrates the importance of looking into the past of York to understand its present as well as to set goals for its future. This report does just that, it looks at the Keele Campus from its beginnings in order to outline its changes and improvements as well as proposing criteria for future changes to the University which will affect campus life.
University Planners, Architects and Consulting Engineers. Report On the Master Plan for the York University Campus Prepared for the Board of Governors of York University. [Toronto: [s.n.], 1963.
This report allows us to gain a further understanding of the future projections the Board of Governors of York University had for the Keele campus in comparison to what the campus actually looks like today. In particular, from this document we were able to learn about the projected pedestrian walking plans for the university. These plans predicted the maximum time it would take any York student to walk across the Keele campus, which was estimated to be ten minutes. As current students at York University who developed a walking tour of the campus we were able to confirm that this maximum walking time is indeed inaccurate. Nonetheless, it allowed us to see that a walking path was developed to meet students’ needs at the time, but further development is required.

- The documents in this file include, letters, pamphlets, brochures, announcements, and reports. One letter was from August 2nd, 1989, which was from York University to Faculty members to make them aware of the continuing counselling services for students. This was not a letter to inform the faculty of new services, but just as a reminder for the faculty to pass onto students as part of the York community. This source gave me the insight that the reports for the Counselling development centre started in 1975, and the services were still active in the 1989/1990 school year.
- There were various information handouts and brochures in this file about the Counselling and Development Centre from different years. The handouts consisted of the Counselling and Development Centre’s advertising of the services they offer for York students. These handouts gave a brief description of the services offered, as well as the building and room number; 145 Behavioural Science Building. There is little difference in the informative handouts in the file that are from different years. The later sources have the hours and days of operation, as well as the telephone number on the handout.
- There is a report by Judy Snow in 1975 about York’s policy to admit students with physical disabilities and the need for York to continue to make Keele campus accessible and accommodating. This source showed me the beginnings of York’s policy for services of disabled students and the later sources in this file showed the progression over the next decade.
- There is a more thorough description of the sources from later dates in the file. They offer services and say it is to meet the needs of the current York population. Compared to the report done by Judy Snow in 1975 about physical handicap these handouts offer services more related to physical and mental health well-being. Services like, training in confidence, mature women’s groups, group for single parents, self-motivation groups, and many other social well-being services. What I’ve noticed through looking at this file is the shift in the need for services related to opening up the definition of disability and counselling services.
