Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

Sub-series consists of records from a new file classification system that was introduced for central registry files at headquarters when the National and Historic Parks Branch was reorganized in the mid-1960s. It had four parts: a numerical code identifying the responsibility centre (or the basic group of subject files), the major categories (Administration, Construction and Development, Equipment and Supplies, Finance, Land, Leases and Concessions, Personnel, and Research), the primary subject (the first letter of the subject name and a numeral), and secondary divisions when necessary. Thus, a file on revenue arrears at Banff appears as 62/4-R1.1: 62/ (for Banff) 4- (for Finance) R1. (for Revenue) 1 (for arrears). The Universal category was maintained and given the code 90. Again, the classification system proved to be unpopular and was soon dropped.

As with the other series of central registry files, these records deal with all aspects of national and historic parks development, including visits by important people, fire protection, trails, public hearings, main estimates and staff. One major difference, however, is the absence of wildlife material resulting from the elevation of the Canadian Wildlife Service to branch status in 1966.
