Archival Obsessions: The Papers of Malcolm Lowry

Malcolm Lowry (1909-1957), author of Under the Volcano (1947), spent the happiest and most productive years of his life at Dollarton in North Vancouver. After his death, the Special Collections Division at the University of British Columbia Library acquired the first of its collection of Lowry manuscripts from his widow Margerie Bonner Lowry. Since that time the collection has grown to become a mecca for scholars around the world.

Please join us to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the publication of Under the Volcano and of Lowry collecting and scholarship at the University of British Columbia Library:
