• Summary:The fonds consists of material concerning the development of the home economics program at UBC, the general historical growth of the field, and some miscellaneous Canadian Home Economic Association records (1952-1964). There is also a set of Black's diaries for the period between 1920 and 1942 as well as extensive correspondence from Black to her family while abroad (1937-1938, 1953, 1958-59).
  
• Biography/history note:Charlotte Black was born in Nelson, B.C. She graduated from the University of Manitoba with a B.Sc. in Home Economics in 1925 and began teaching in Vancouver schools in that year. Black joined the School of Home Economics at the University of Washington in 1941 where one of her main responsibilities was the establishment and development of the Home Management House. With the establishment of the Department of Home Economics at the University of British Columbia, she accepted an invitation to join the faculty. In 1946, she was made head of the department following the resignation of Dorothy Lefevbre. The status of Home Economics changed from a department to a school in 1951, and Black then became director until her retirement in 1965.
