Colonial Office 195, which is available on microfilm in its entirety, follows the usual system of arrangement for "colony" classes. It consists of volumes 1 to 23, selected letters, reports and instructions sent from the Board of Trade, and the Secretary of State for the Colonies to Newfoundland. This material is available on microfilm, reels B-869 to B-875.

Volume 1 includes orders, grants, petitions and some correspondence relating primarily to the fisheries for the period 1623-1671. Volumes 2 to 10 (1678-1781) are composed of draft correspondence from the Board of Trade. Some drafts will also be found in CO 194. Volume 11 is devoted exclusively to instructions for John Elliot, Governor of Newfoundland, 1786-1789. Volumes 12 and 13 contain information which might be expected to be found in CO 194, including inward communications concerning matters such as the French and British fisheries, reports on forts and ordnance, the possibility of hostile actions by American colonials, complaints of French attacks, etc., for the period 1767-1782. In addition to these two peculiar volumes, some copies and abstracts of incoming correspondence, 1623-1724, will be found scattered throughout much of the class. Volume 14 provides précis of correspondence, 1802-1807. The "Despatches" category of the outward correspondence is concentrated in volumes 15 to 23 (1768-1867), whereas the"Offices" and "Miscellaneous" or "individuals" categories for the period 1810-1872, are incorporated into CO 43, Canada, Entry Books, volumes 49-141.
