Restrictions on access note:

Certain textual records in the series MUS 315/E must be reviewed by Library and Archives Canada staff prior to their circulation, so that sensitive personal information (Social Insurance and Social Security numbers) can be severed before the files are made available. These files are identified in the finding aid by an access restriction note stating "Access restrictions apply. File must be reviewed prior to circulation. Consult with reference staff ...." This access restriction will cease to apply to these files as they reach 80 years in age, after which the unsevered original documents may be circulated.
