Collection search - Selected subject files [textual record]

Title is based on the contents of the sub-series.

When the scope and mandate of the old Civil Service Commission was significantly modified by the Public Service Employment Act (1967), the disposition of records of the older Commission was not completed in an orderly fashion. A large body of original registry records was destroyed in 1965. The Public Service Commission then arranged for the production of an independent history of its antecedent bodies stretching back to 1908. The authors compiled a large selection of records incorporating both former registry files with non-registry sources and intermingled these with their own working papers. This selection was transferred from the Public Service Commission Library to the National Archives and was arranged as Records Relating to the History of the Civil Service Commission, 1908-1970 (RG32-H).

No further accruals are expected.

Certain portions of the pre-1967 registry arrived, often in revised classification systems, through more regular disposition channels and form the Central registry files related to departmental establishment and organization sub-series, (RG32-E, MIKAN 139783, R234-26-9-E, Vols. 694-712). Larger sets of Commission records, outside the registry and composed of research studies or organization charts, form their own series in the Treasury Board fonds (RG55, MIKAN 294, R776-0-5-E), see RG55-C-1 and Office of the Secretary of the Treasury Board series (RG55-G, MIKAN 134702, R776-85-6-E).
