Sub-series consists of records maintained in a file classification system that was briefly tried in the National Parks Branch during the 1950s. However, it proved to be unpopular and was soon dropped. This numerical system was divided into a subject prefix (i.e., 125 for contracts, 131 for roads) and a location suffix (i.e., 91 for Banff, 103 for Yoho). For example, file 125-91 would stand for contracts at Banff National Park. The few files in this sub-series deal with contracts, campgrounds, land matters, maps and plans, and other such activities in national and historic parks. Some material on the files precede the years in which the system was operational.
