General note:

Acquired by donation and purchase from private citizens, organisations, and antiquarians. The majority of the programmes from the Montreal region acquired before 1994 were collected by Eric McLean. A large portion of those from Toronto acquired before 1994 were donated by John Kraglund, and a portion of those from Ottawa for the years 1959-1980 were donated by Lauretta Thistle. These programmes donated by these critics are annotated.

Arrangement note:

The arrangement of the Canada in Concert collection is geographic. The first series (Canada tours and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) encompasses musical performance activities that are pan-Canadian or which involve more than one province. This is followed by series for each of the 10 provinces, and a combined series for the three territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut). Finally, there is one series (Canadians abroad) for concerts involving Canadians in foreign countries.
