The office of VP Resources was first formed in December 1977 when Richard .J Hand succeeded David Bonham. It was previously known as VP Finance. This change in name was intended to reflect a greater attention to both human resources along with finances. At the reorganization of the offices of Vice Principals in April 1976, there had been a transfer of certain administrative functions (personnel, purchasing, computing and capital development) to the VP Finance. But when Richard Hand succeeded Bonham, he asked for a change in the name of the office to reflect the emphasis he wished to give it. David Bonham returned to the position of VP Resources in 1984, a position that he held until 1988. At that time, Rod Fraser became VP Resources, and the office took on additional responsibilities for personnel and staff liaison, purchasing and food services, university information systems, and capital development and financing. During a major reorganization in 1995, the office of VP Resources was eliminated.

The position of Vice-Principal Finance began in 1965 during a reorganization of the administration of the University due to rapid growth at the time. The role of Vice-Principal Administration was examined, resulting in the transfer of all financial aspects of the University from it to form the Vice-Principal Finance position. The first Vice-Principal Finance was Lawrence G MacPherson in 1965. MacPherson retired on September 30 1971, and succeeded by David H. Bonham in October 1971. Another reorganization of the University's administration in 1976 resulted in the Vice-Principal Finance David Bonham to assume additional responsibilities for personnel and staff liaison, purchasing and food services, university information systems, and capital development and financing. In 1977, Bonham resigned and Richard J. Hand was appointed to the role. However, at this time, in order to reflect the additional responsibilities to the position, the name was changed from Vice-Principal Finances to Vice-Principal Resources.

The Kingston Poor Relief Society was interchangeably referred to as the City Poor Relief Committee and the Kingston Poor Relief Association. While not an official organ of local government, much of their financial support was derived from the City Treasury, with donations from individuals, organizations and churches also contributing to their fund. The main activity of the Society seems to have been the disbursement of funds. The funds of the association were predominantly for elderly people, widows and children: the “worthy poor”, with most of the monies going to the food and fuel accounts which were covered or heavily subsidized by the Society. There were occasional expenditures for clothing or footwear. The Society was most active during the fall and winter seasons often adjourning for the summer.
The Executive of the Society was composed of many prominent women of the City of Kingston (Richardson, Oberndorffer, Machar, Corbett) who conducted visits to homes and investigated needy cases. While some claim has been made that this Society was the continuance of the Female Benevolent Society which dated back to 1821, there are also other sources which more reliably have it dating to 1867, often being called the Committee of the Poor Relief and closely related with the City Mission Association.

This is the second largest academic press in Canada after the University of Toronto Press. It was founded as McGill University Press in 1960 as the only English-language scholarly press east of Toronto. In 1969, Queen's accepted an invitation to become a partner and share costs.
The press was on the verge of financial collapse in 1980, but survived by moving faculty members into editorial positions and temporarily reducing its size. Most of the Press's business arrangements are handled at McGill, but editorial decisions are made jointly at Queen's and McGill.

This department in the Faculty of Health Sciences was founded in 1895, when Dr. Walter Connell became Queen's first head of Pathology and Bacteriology. In 1919, Bacteriology and Pathology became separate departments, with Dr. Guilford Reed becoming the first head of Bacteriology. In the late 1960s, the department was renamed Microbiology and Immunology. Teaching and research in the department originally focused on infectious diseases and bacteriology, and during the Second World War some members of the department worked on top-secret research in biological warfare for the Canadian government.
The department was closely associated with the provincial Public Health Laboratory in Kingston since the latter was founded in 1907 with Dr. Connell as regional bacteriologist and pathologist.
In 2014, the programs of Microbiology and Immunology became part of the Department of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences.
