The Slocan History Series by Professor Emeritus Cole Harris (1936-2022) in UBC’s Department of Geography, is available in cIRcle. The series documents the social and industrial history of British Columbia’s Slocan Valley, including early settler experiences and resource development.

This extends their reach beyond the physical copies, allowing researchers, students, and the public worldwide to engage with this regional history. This initiative underscores UBC Library’s commitment to open access and to preserving regional history for a wider public audience.

UBC Library is pleased to announce that we will be moving to a new Single Sign On (SSO) approach to Pitchbook. On the morning of Wednesday, March 11th , UBC users will be able to login directly to Pitchbook via the Library Website with their UBC CWL login. Users will no longer need to login multiple times or have to recreate Pitchbook accounts to access.
Our Library Pitchbook Resource Page will be updated with this new SSO login on March 11th. Please continue to use this Resource Page as your access point for Pitchbook.
I just want to give a quick thank you to the UBC Library and IT staff that worked hard to put this change in place. This should greatly increase the Pitchbook User experience at UBC.
Finally, I wanted to mention that Pitchbook has now put in place website security tools to protect against their website data from being mass downloaded. Please note that using Browser Extensions that have “Read and Change” permissions – such as translation browser extensions like Google Translate – will be flagged as website data downloading.
To be clear: Using “Read and Change” Browser Extensions when using Pitchbook will case your account to be blocked. Please disable these Extensions before using Pitchbook.
The University Archives website has recently been updated and content from the previous version is currently being migrated. During this transition, some pages or resources may be temporarily unavailable.
Some users are seeing are ‘’Access not authorized’ error when trying to access Pitchbook and/or re-create their account to access. We are working with Pitchbook to resolve ASAP
