The Canadian history section of the Library of Congress F schedule was long ago recognized as being far too limited to meet the needs of Canadian scholarly libraries. Nearly thirty years ago Dr. W. Kaye Lamb, then chief librarian of the University of British Columbia Library, devised the original F5000 schedule for Canadian history to meet the needs of the newly acquired Howay-Reid collection. This greatly expanded schedule was adopted by degrees and with variations by most scholarly libraries across Canada.
