In 1870, the Timber Marking Act and Rules came into affect and required logging companies which transport timber down waterways to select and register a mark with the Federal Government which would distinguish their lumber from other companies' logs. Only companies in New Brunswick, Quebec, and Ontario are subject to the act, where the lumber industry was concentrated at the time of legislation. The registry only records timber marks from these regions.

After cutting down trees, loggers would mark the timber before sending them on river drives to processing mills. At the mill, the timber marks would identify the owner and clarify payment arrangements, as well timber marks would be used to sort the logs for measurement and payment.

This series of Timber Mark Ledgers includes registry books and indexes from 1870 to 1992. Indexes can be searched by company name or by symbol which references the folio (or page) number for the mark's registration in the timber mark registry ledgers. The registry is organized chronologically.
