Unknown Canadian Polonica – William John Rose and his archival legacy

Abstract

The author discusses the archival legacy of William John Rose (1885–1968), a Canadian Slavist, historian and sociologist, showing its usefulness in researching the history of science and the relations between Polish scholars and scientists from Anglo-Saxon countries. Due to the distance of Vancouver from Poland, the Rose Fond collected in the Archives of the University of British Columbia (Canada) has not been the subject of interest of Polish scholars so far, but it is worth noting due to its richness and thematic diversity.
