Fonds Description

Allon Peebles fonds. – 1900-2010.

75cm textual records and other materials.

Biographical Sketch

Dr. Allon Peebles was born on October 20, 1900, in New Westminster. He graduated

from UBC in 1920 and earned a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Columbia.

Dr. Peebles taught economics at the University of California, and later at the University

of Columbia. He also worked with a committee in the United States on the costs of

medical care. He married Noeline Bruce in 1926, and they had three daughters: Priscilla,

Jane, and Noeline. A medical and labour research economist, Peebles was chairperson

of B.C.’s first Health Insurance Commission in 1936 and helped fashion the B.C.

Hospital Insurance Service. Peebles and Harry Morris Cassidy wrote the 1936 Health

Insurance Act. In 1941, Peebles went to Ottawa as the first executive director of the

Unemployment Commission and was in charge of the labour department’s research

and statistics. He wrote several books, and non-published works, on medical facilities,

insurance, care, fishing, advice to his daughters, sketches from his boyhood, and other

writings. After retiring from the labour department in 1947, Peebles entered private

business in Chatham, Ontario. He died in Ottawa on March 13, 1962.

Scope and Content

This fonds consists of records relating to Dr. Peeble’s family and professional life,

including correspondence, newspaper clippings, programs and pamphlets,

photographs, and DVDs. This fonds also includes records relating to various family

members, created and acquired by Allon Peebles’ daughter Priscilla Galloway. The

fonds is arranged into nine series, which include, Condolence Letters and Budget Book,

Reports and Publications, Correspondence, Family History, Event and Travel

Memorabilia, Photographs, Multimedia, Certificates, and Writings.

Notes

Includes: 235 photographs, 1 photo album, 3 DVDs, and 7 certificates.

File list available.

The arrangement of this fonds mostly follows the organization done by Allon Peebles’

daughter Priscilla Galloway, especially in the case of the five family history binders and

albums prepared by her. These have been placed in folders in the same order as found

in the albums and binders. Handwritten post-it notes and printed information written

by Patricia Galloway, are included in several of the files. Post-its have been placed on

separate sheets and interleaved with the materials to which they were initially attached.

Typed notes have been left in the order in which they were placed initially among the

material.

Peebles’ daughter Dr. Patricia Galloway donated the records to the University Archives.

In 2020, the UBC Archives received an accrual and acquisition from a donation by

Patricia Galloway’s daughter Noël Galloway.
