• Summary:The fonds consists of records which document the origins of SDRI and reflect its activities during its first five years of existence, and includes correspondence, reports, minutes, financial records, and published materials, in both textual and digital format. It is arranged in five series (Central Files, General Correspondence, UBC Correspondence, Subject Files, Research Projects) and one sous-fonds ("Women and Sustainable Development: Canadian Perspectives" Conference).
  
• Biography/history note:The Sustainable Development Research Initiative (SDRI) was established in April 1991 to foster policy relevant research on sustainable development. The Initiative encourages interdisciplinary collaboration among the faculty, departments and centres at UBC, as well as other institutes and programs undertaking sustainable development research in Canada and around the world. In pursuit of this, the Institute has hosted workshops and conferences, including the 1994 "Women and Sustainable Development: Canadian Perspectives" conference. It also carried out and coordinated research on sustainability and the relationships that connect and influence the environment, the economy, and society. After an extensive review, SDRI merged with the Institute for Resources and Environment (IRE) to form the Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability in September 2002. SDRI was renamed the Sustainable Development Research Initiative, and continued as a major research focus within IRES.
