These records were created in response to an 1821 Act of Parliament (1 & 2 George IV, c.66) which required that a register of persons employed abroad be sent home and that a duplicate register be sent to the Government. Registers created before 1892 may be found amongst the Post Records (Section B, sub-section g). From Outfit 1892, one register was drawn up by the Accountant's Office in Winnipeg. By this time the purpose of the register seems to have been to keep a record of employees' accounts rather than to inform the British Government about British subjects.

Each volume is divided into five sections: commissioned officers; clerks and postmasters; servants, winterers, and others; freeman; and sundry employees. Within each section, each employee is listed alphabetically by surname. Capacity or position, district in which employed, years of service, as well as wages, cash advances and other financial information is given. Volumes 1-13. Arranged chronologically.
