General note:

The Grey of Howick Papers relating to Canada were selected by the Dominion Archivist in 1955 from the Grey Papers in the custody of the University of Durham. When all or the greater part of a file concerned Canada, the original file was obtained and a photostat copy left at Durham, but when the greater part of a file did not concern Canada, the original was left at Durham and photostats of the relevant papers obtained by the Public Archives.
Thus the Grey of Howick Papers consist of two distinct series, one original correspondence, the other photostats of correspondence.

Custodial history:

The two letters written by Rev. H.A. Cody in container no. 41 were sent to the National Archives by the Archives of WhiteHorse to be added to that fonds.

Availability of other formats note:

The finding aid is available on microfilm, reel C-1356.
