Show detail Hide detail

This sub-series consists of a portion of coded files originating from the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs classification system.

In addition to employment application files, it contains a number of files opened for the compilation of records on other federal departments (though frequently concerning the Saint-Maurice riding or Mauricie region). It also contains a series of files with codes starting with "9" which concern, more specifically, the Right Honourable Jean Chrétien's activities as Minister (i.e. invitations, conferences, speeches, trips, thank-you and congratulatory letters) and, less frequently, as M.P. for the Saint-Maurice riding (three files). Some of these files concern the more specific management and operations of Indian and Northern Affairs.

The sub-series consists mainly of correspondence, but also includes working papers, forms (i.e. employment and grant applications, etc.), memos, briefing notes and reference documents, mostly institutional in nature. It also contains eight photographs, two geographical maps, and one building plan.

Certain items bear Minister Chrétien's signature (copies, with some exceptions), and several bear his initials (for approval, or to indicate that he had seen them). Several items are signed by public figures, political and otherwise.
