Sub-sub-series consists of a partial alphabetical index to the Special Grants listed in aperture card books 168-176. Purposes for which special land grants (i.e., grants of 160 acres or less) were awarded under the Dominion Lands Act and certain other statutes governing land disposals in western Canada before 1930 include: pleasure grounds, public libraries and mechanic institutes, Indian missions, station grounds, hospitals, services rendered in locating settlers, promoting immigration, smelting works, cemeteries, municipal purposes, agricultural purposes, orphanage and training schools for Indian children, public parks, school sites, rifle ranges, armouries and drill halls, jail houses, roadways, industrial houses, exhibition grounds, court houses, mission houses, YMCA athletic houses, nuisance grounds, asylums, etc. The index is by no means complete. It considers only the first 5,000 grants (those awarded between ca. 1873 and 1915) out of a total of 13,695 Special Grants awarded by the end of 1930.
