This series begins with biographical information about Professor Sim, including copies of his curriculum vitae, ‘Biographical notes’ that he wrote in 1995-1996 that describes his life up to his appointment at the University of British Columbia, and 18 digital video interviews with him about his experiences during World War II. There are also files of certificates and memorabilia (some belonging to his wife, Lillian), greeting cards, and a notebook on vocabulary and Chinese words from the 1940s. The series ends with files of correspondence with his wife, Lillian, and nephews, nieces, and cousins in Singapore and Hong Kong, and a few friends.
