Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

Sub-series consists of central registry files from a new file classification system that was adopted for Parks Canada records during the mid-1970s. In 1968 the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development was reorganized into four separate "program" areas: Conservation, Development, Social Affairs and Departmental Administration. The National and Historic Parks Branch was placed in the Conservation Program, along with the Canadian Wildlife Service. Concurrently, the Department adopted a new classification system to facilitate the identification of files belonging to the relative programme areas. To distinguish the Parks Branch records from other functions within the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs, they were given the prefix C, for Conservation, to which a numerical code was added. The primary subject is identified with a four-digit number; three digits added to this code permit a further breakdown of files. Alphabetical codes are used mainly to identify national parks and national historic parks and sites, and correspondence with provincial governments. For instance, files C-2670/J1 and C-2670/M3 deal with avalanche control in Jasper National Park and Mount Revelstoke National Park respectively. Most historic sites files carry the code 8400, to which a number identifying the particular site is added. This system was in use at Parks Canada until the mid-1980s.

The records in this sub-series cover all the traditional park activities, as well as the more recent ones. Included are files dealing with interpretation, ecological studies, forestry, wilderness zones, public hearings, accidents, committees, the Banff Centre Council, the Task Force on Historic Sites, the Task Force on the Future of Canada's Historic Canals, Federal-Provincial Parks Conferences, cooperation and liaison, park wardens and others.
