No full textThis letter is from the Haydn Neal Thompson Letter Collection. Contents of the collection include correspondence, primarily handwritten and of a personal nature. The bulk of materials are from Thompson's family members, including his mother, Marie Thompson, and sister, Janet Thompson, with a few letters from aunts and cousins. The remaining majority consists of letters from friends, primarily girlfriends. The conversation across letters emphasizes school and social happenings.

South Thompson Planning Report
No full textThe South Thompson River Basin is a major sub-regional area of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District. The South Thompson serves as a pathway for major salmon runs, a corridor for rail and highway transportation, a recreational resource for the Kamloops/Shuswap population, a scenic treasure, an agricultural base, a reservoir of flat land, and a clean water supply. It contains a priceless record of our archaeological and historical past. At the same time, it is obvious that this area is a delicate and vulnerable ecological and aesthetic system. Haphazard or random residential sprawl, ill considered industrial development, or inappropriate land use of any type could endanger and destroy this resource permanently. A policy statement indicating the desired directions in which the Regional District should permit development to proceed is imperative. This document, then, is a statement of policy.Not peer reviewedPlanning documentInterim Repor

No full textThe research is in the field of conservation of digitally printed materials. In order to accurately edit these proceedings the editors required detailed knowledge in all research aspects covered during the conference.
The conference was held on 24th & 25th March 2003 at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh as part of the Institute of Physics Annual Physics Congress 2003. The conference was jointly organised by the Institute of Physics 3Ps Group and The London College of Printing, The London Institute. The conference was organised by Andrew Manning, Robert Thompson and Anthony Smith.
The conference proceedings were edited and compiled by Andrew Manning and Robert Thompson.

The conference was unique in attracting speakers from industry and academic institutions as well as standards organisations. There were four sessions; session one dealt with the concerns of the artists and printmakers, session two with materials, processes and permanence issues, session three dealt with standards and the last session with digital photography. At the end of each session there was a panel discussion, these has been reproduced in the proceedings.

Interview with Robert L. Thompson - OH 630
No full textThis interview was conducted as part of the Winthrop History Project, an initiative led by Winthrop President Emeritus Dr. Anthony DiGiorgio and Rebecca Masters. The project aimed to document Winthrop’s transformation over Dr. DiGiorgio’s 24-year tenure, tracing the institution’s evolution from Winthrop College to Winthrop University. Designed to supplement Dr. Ross Webb’s The Torch is Passed, which chronicles Winthrop’s history up to Dr. DiGiorgio’s presidency, this project sought to provide a comprehensive account of this significant period.
A key component of the initiative was a series of recorded interviews with members of the extended Winthrop community who played a role in shaping the university’s progress. These firsthand narratives preserve the voices, experiences, and perspectives of those who contributed to Winthrop’s growth and development.
This interview features Robert L. “Bob” Thompson, who played a significant role in Winthrop’s governance. Thompson was a member of the Board of Visitors in the mid-1980s and later served as President of the Winthrop Foundation Board. In 1992, he was appointed to Winthrop’s Board of Trustees, serving two terms from 1992–2005 and 2008–2014. In this conversation, he reflects on his experiences and insights from working with President Dr. Anthony DiGiorgio.https://digitalcommons.winthrop.edu/oralhistoryprogram/1754/thumbnail.jp
