Colonial Office 188 is the first for New Brunswick of the six classes normally assigned to a geographically defined collection. In general, the class follows the usual system of arrangement for "colony" classes and consists of correspondence and despatches received from the lieutenant-governors and administrators of New Brunswick. The entire class is available on microfilm, reels B-1 to B-18, B-201 to B-203, B-1119 to B-1126, B-1184 to B-1238, B-1940. Oversize documents were microfilmed separately, reel B-1940. For the years 1784-1840, transcripts are also available. The series of transcripts is called "New Brunswick A" and is available on microfilm reels C-13942 to C-13954.

The New Brunswick "A" transcripts prepared by the National Archives of Canada is a composite collection similar in nature to the "Q" Series (see CO 42). For the period 1784-1801, the New Brunswick "A" transcripts derive from a number of distinct sources, some of which were not included with CO 188 by the 1908-1910 reorganization at the Public Record Office. However, CO 188 remains the PRO class most closely related to these transcripts. By the time the copyist had reached documents dated 1801, CO 188 had come into being and from this point on the transcripts and CO 188 are virtually identical.
