History
Ronald G. Scobbie was born in Scotland. After graduating from high school, he worked in the mines of Scotland which led to a career as a land surveyor. Ron immigrated to Canada in 1965 and settled in North Vancouver. In 1967 he became a partner in the surveying company of Hunter, Crockford & Scobbie in New Westminster, eventually owning it under the title Scobbie and Associates between 1980 and 1995. Ron sold the business in 1995 and retired as a BC Land Surveyor in December 2003. Ron was an active member of the B.C. Land Surveyors Association and an avid collector of surveying equipment and maps and plans that document the history of surveying in British Columbia. Upon retirement, Ron donated many historical maps and plans to various repositories located in different geographical regions throughout B.C.
Scobbie & Associates land surveying company dates back to 1890 when Albert J. Hill first established his practice as a land surveyor in New Westminster. The company went through a series of Surveyors (owners) between 1890 and 1995:
Albert James Hill (A.J. Hill) [1890] to 1912
Hill & Burnett 1911 to 1912

Object History
From the August 3, 1971 acquisition record: "This set of Encyclopedia was given to my paternal Grandparents on their wedding day in 1876, in London, England. They were given to my father (L.W. Taverner) upon the day of his father in 1897 and he brought them to Canada when he emigrated here in 1904. I can recall they many times they were used as "reference" in my early childhood not only by our family, but by neighbours and friends in settling 'friendly' arguments."
