The Ukrainian community of Kingston began to coalesce in the 1940's, although there had been a small number of Ukrainians living in Kingston throughout the interwar period and were a small number who had resided in Kingston just prior to the First World War.
The Ukrainian Canadian Club of Kingston was founded in 1980 as a result of differences of opinion about the use of the Parish Hall. The Club was focussed on supporting the political, cultural and social traditions, in particular the two dance troupes which were in the community: Ukrainian Dorist Dancers and the Ukrainian Maky Dancers. The mandate of the Group was to preserve and promote Ukrainian Heritage.

St. Michael the Arcangel Ukrainian Catholic Church was founded in 1949 and a decade later a hall was built at 472 Bagot Street and used primarily for meetings, folk dancing and banquets. The Parish services moved to the Hall in 1980, prior to this it was held at St. Mary's Cathedral.
The Ukrainian Parish Hall as served as meeting place and home to the Ukrainian Canadian Club and the Canadian League for the Liberation of Ukraine at one time or another.

Philosophy professor John Watson taught Queen's first courses in psychology in the 1870s, though courses in the precursor of psychology, mental philosophy, had been taught since the 1850s. Psychology became an increasingly important part of the Department of Philosophy's work in the 1920s and 1930s, thanks to the distinguished Professor of Psychology, George Humphrey, who left Queen's in 1947, to take up Oxford's first Chair of Experimental Psychology. A separate Department of Psychology was founded in 1949, with just three faculty members. The Department has grown enormously since that time. It now has more than 35 faculty, offers its introductory course to more than 1800 students, and has the largest PhD program at Queen's. It occupies two large buildings, Humphrey Hall (named after George Humphrey), and the Craine building (after Agnes Craine). It offers a broad range of courses and conducts research in all the main areas of psychology, including perception, cognition, learning and motivation and their biological underpinnings, child development, individual differences, social psychology, and behaviour disorders. It is part of the Faculty of Arts and Science.

William George Richardson, commonly referred to as George Richardson, joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering in 1965 and introduced the university's first courses in the history of engineering. His book Queen's Engineers: A Century of Applied Science (1893-1993) traces the history of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science from its beginnings as the Ontario School of Mining and Agriculture in 1893 until its 100th anniversary in 1993.
