This sub-series consists of correspondence (Sept. 1984 - June 1993) received by the Prime Minister. Upon receipt by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), all correspondence was stamped with a unique, numerical, accession number, and a record was created in the PMO's correspondence tracking system. The correspondence tracking system captured numerous data elements from each piece of correspondence received (eg: correspondent, subject, tone, keywords, date, accession number, etc.) This tracking system was acquired by the National Archives in an ASCII format (vol. 1610), and should be used to search the PMO Correspondence Series. Searches may be done on any of the data elements within each record. Researchers are advised to read the 0Readme.txt file in volume 1610.

The majority of correspondence in this sub-series was received from Canadian citizens; however, other correspondents include; Cabinet ministers, provincial premiers, foreign heads of government, and notable professional, business and cultural figures. Topics covered include all the major issues of the day: the economy, capital punishment, abortion, the environment, sexual orientation, pornography, cuts to the CBC, "Star Wars", senior citizens' pensions, family allowances, tainted tuna scandal, Sinclair Stevens, South Africa, war criminals, refugees, CF-18 contract, nuclear submarines, bilingualism, free trade, the 1988 election, Cruise Missile testing, KAON project, Oka, Persian Gulf/Kuwait, the GST and the Meech Lake Accord.
