Scales differ.

Microfilmed copies are available on reels C-10098 to C-10205, C-11063. At the time of their microfilming, not all records in this series were open to unrestricted access. The open files were filmed on one set of reels (C-10098 to C-10187 and C-11063). The closed files were filmed on a separate set of restricted reels. Of the reels which were originally restricted, the following have subsequently been reviewed and declared open: C-10188 to C-10198, C-10200 to C-10204. Reels remaining restricted are as follows: C-10199 and C-10205., RG10M 78903/16, items are available in microfiche: NMC 116032, 116033., RG10M 78903/45 and RG10M 88967, collections have been microfilmed. For NMC numbers consult the finding aids., RG10M 90110, available in microfiche format: NMC 119561.

No further accruals are expected.

A set of letter registers and indices to them is available and provides a content list for the incoming correspondence of the Black Series and succeeding file series up to 1959. See the "Registers, Indices and Indexed Registers" sub-series (RG10-B-3-g) within this sous-fonds. While it is generally true that Black Series records relate to western Canada while those found in the Red Series relate to eastern Canada, a qualification must be made. Issues with a national dimension will usually be found documented in the Red Series and so one cannot assume that there are no records relating to western Canada in the Red Series. For this reason, for certain issues, users may need to consult the Red Series in addition to the Black Series.
