Robert L. Jefferies, renowned Arctic biologist in the Canadian and international scientific communities and a co-recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, as a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, passed away unexpectedly in July 2009.
To ensure that both his and his colleagues’ research legacies are preserved and made available to the broader community, a team led by York University professor, Dawn Bazely, a Masters student of Bob Jefferies, has created the ‘Churchill Community of Knowledge’ Digital Archive, within the non-profit institutional repository of York Univeristy, YorkSpace (yorku.ca/yorkspace). Canadian undergraduate students have been working to collect and digitize items pertaining to research based the Churchill Northern Studies Centre and Wapusk National Park, as well as items that showcase Dr. Jefferies’ accomplishments during a lifetime of research. The collection also iwelcomes personal correspondence and images from friends and family.
