Frank E. Buck fonds. – 1911-1965.

2.95 m of textual records.

220 photographs.

128 maps.

Biographical Sketch

Frank Buck was born in Colchester, England where he received his early schooling and

initial training, mostly in the printing business and journalism. On coming to Canada in

1902, he worked as an associate editor on a newspaper and also maintained a private

practice in landscaping work. He later entered Macdonald College, graduating with a

B.S.A. in 1911. Buck obtained a Diploma from Cornell University and from 1912 to 1920,

he served as Assistant Dominion Horticulturalist in charge of landscape architecture

and floriculture work at the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa. When the University

of British Columbia required an ornamental horticulturalist in 1920, Buck was selected

to handle the tremendous task of landscaping the University campus. He was also

active in town planning work and belonged to numerous associations. He officially

retired from the UBC faculty in 1949 but maintained his interest in campus

development in an advisory capacity.

Scope and Content

The fonds consists of correspondence, subject files and pamphlets arising from Buck's

various interests (1920-1950). Buck organized most of his papers into subject files

relating to his activities and arranged them in alphabetical order. The files, in many

instances, contain correspondence, reports and memos. The fonds also includes maps,

plans, and posters, as well as photographs.

Notes

Researchers are strongly advised to check with the University Archives regarding

permission to publish or otherwise use materials from this fonds.

File List available.

Photographs are listed in UBC Archives’ Historical Photograph Database, under

catalogue number UBC 29.1. They include a retrospective photoessay/album entitled

"An Historical Report on the Development of the Campus Area of the University of

British Columbia" (1950). The photographs have been removed and stored separately as

a conservation measure.

horticulture in 1920. From 1946 to 1949 he was supervisor of campus development, and

continued as advisor for many years. He was chairman of the Point Grey Town

Planning Commission and stayed on with the Vancouver Town Planning Commission

after amalgamation in 1929.

The maps relate to his interests in planning of the campus and the city between 1926

and 1949. The organization of the maps, plans and charts is by subject, following the
