Show detail Hide detail

Sub-sub-series consists of registry files covering the early growth of national parks in Canada, from the acquisition of the mineral hot springs at Banff to the creation in 1911 of a separate Dominion Parks Branch of the Department of the Interior. These records were part of the main Interior registry system and consequently were registered in numerical sequence: higher numbers identify more recent files and vice versa. Following the establishment of the Dominion Parks Branch, most of the files and file numbers created under this system were converted and brought forward to a park/subject classification. The files appearing in this sub-sub-series are those which were not converted. They deal with the early history of national parks, most particularly Banff, Waterton Lakes, Yoho and the other western parks, as well as Point Pelee, and cover topics such as the discovery of the Banff mineral hot springs, lease of land in Rocky Mountains Park, water supply, the Bankhead mines, proposals for new parks, and dealings with the townsite inhabitants.

(Electronic) Finding aid 84-1 is a list of file numbers, titles and dates. For volumes 126 to 128, a computer-printout keyword subject index has also been prepared. The researcher must convert the RG 84 volume number given in the index to the new volume number before ordering the material. The conversion list is the file list referred to above, on which the old volume number appears on the far right side of each entry and the new volume number on the far left side of the page. 84-1
