___. Notebooks. There are at least 31 Nichol notebooks at Simon Fraser University’s Special Collections, datable by the dates of their entries. Ten of these are from the 1963–71 period and part of SFU’s first acquisition of Nichol papers. Barrie began numbering his notebooks in 1969, numbering the fourth one number “III” and the seventh one number IV, while naming the fifth “Tegnikal Notes.” In 1972 he began naming his principal notebooks while numbering smaller concurrent ones, of which he accumulated five, including two marked “fourth short notebook.” There are 15 clearly named notebooks at Simon Fraser. In July 1981 in his “Title Notebook,” he attempted to draw up a list of his 1972–80 notebooks, with dates, “for handy ref.” He noted that he had lost his “Blue Jean Yes” notebook of April–November 1979. Most of the listed notebooks are identifiable in the SFU collection. Because of the ambiguities of their naming and numbering I have usually referenced these only by the date of the entry I have cited.
