• Description:4. 18 m of textual records
  
• Summary:The fonds consists of alphabetically arranged subject files from the IIPS Office during its run as well as numerically arranged working papers and technical reports. Other material includes reports and publications growing out of the project. The IIPS project was overseen and guided by a core group of stakeholder and interested members and a research group. Minutes, correspondence, and research by these groups are represented in the fonds. The project's simulation was composed of many sub-models coded and theorized by many committees. These committees and their respective sub-models generated various reports, research materials, minutes and correspondence over the span of the project.
  
• Biography/history note:Established in 1970, the Inter-Institutional Policy Simulator represented a joint project by four levels of government and the University of British Columbia to construct computer interactive models of the Vancouver urban region. The project, housed at UBC in the Resource Science Centre, was designed to assess the impact of potential changes in a simulated environment. Initially intended to continue for five years, funding problems and internal disagreements amongst the participants, put the project behind schedule and the Federal Ministry of State withdrew its support in 1974. Although the model was never employed as envisioned, the remaining partners agreed to complete the documentation of the user and programming manuals for each model and system.
