He was subsequently promoted to associate professor of History at U. Vic. and was made full professor in 1970, specializing in military history, defence studies and Canadian history. In addition to his academic career, Prof. Roy continued his close association with the military.

Prof. Roy has been awarded numerous grants for his research projects, including Canada Council grants for the Bibliography of British Columbia and University of Victoria grants for his biography of Maj.-Gen. Pearkes. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society in 1966, one of many honours he has received in the course of his career. 2

7 Scope and Content The records of Prof. Reginald Roy document many aspects of his varied career. Most numerous is the background material to his research on Canadian military history, particularly his books on the Canadian involvement in the Normandy campaign and the histories of several Canadian regiments. Also included are records of his activities with the COTC/ROTP, the U. Vic. Alumni Association, and other committees and offices. In addition, Prof. Roy collected many articles, clippings, brochures and similar records dealing with NATO, NORAD, South Africa, South-West Africa and Namibia, which he used as background material for his numerous lectures on these subjects. The series descriptions which follow outline the records and their various accessions in more detail. Prof. Roy began transferring his records to the University Archives in the early 1970's, although some of these records remained unprocessed for several years. Many of the same subjects and types of records are scattered throughout different accessions; therefore an index to names and subjects appears at the end of this inventory which will help to tie the material together. As Prof. Roy is still teaching and writing, he will likely continue to transfer his records to the Archives for some time to come, and this inventory will be updated as necessary. Researchers may also wish to consult the military history interviews on audio tape, many of which were conducted by Prof. Roy and which complement information contained in his own records. Other related records include those of the University of Victoria Social Sciences Research Centre, which contains rough drafts, transcripts of interviews and background material for Prof. Roy's biography of Maj.- Gen. Pearkes. Prof. Roy's Ph.D. thesis, "The British Columbia Dragoons and its Predecessors" (University of Washington, 1965), is also available in the University Archives. 3
