Biographical history
Raymond Pius George Yochim was born on August 17, 1935, and died July 25, 2016. He was married sixty years to wife Irene, and had three sons. He was, for much of his career, a travelling salesman, and his collecting was partially a result of his ongoing travels as well as his multitude of interests. Ray was a member of the Air Force Club, Royal Canadian Legion, Army Navy & Air Force Veterans, and Knights of Columbus. He was an avid collector of coins and stamps, books and ephemera.
Custodial history
Scope and content
Yochim’s collecting ranged over a variety of topics and medium. Often, he would take interest in a specific subject and collect everything from articles and clippings to books on the subject, interleaving the former with the latter. He also gathered “collectible” items such as trading cards and magnets on a variety of subjects.

Arrangement
Many of Yochim’s books have been added to the Neil Richards Collection for Sexual and Gender Diversity, as well as to the Shortt Collection of Canadiana. Where applicable, his interleaving has been maintained. Where interleaving is extensive, books have been added to this archival fonds instead to maintain their integrity. Some effort has been made to preserve the peculiarities of Yochim’s collecting practices in the arrangement of this collection which, like the house in which he lived, has been sorted by topic, with the exception of trading cards and magnets.
