Collection search - Atlantic Region. Central Registry Files [textual record]

This accession consists of central registry files for the Altantic Regional Office of the Department of Industry, Trade and Commerce for the years 1964-1978. The records consist of correspondence, reports, memoranda, clippings, published material, telexes and conference proceedings related to the promotion and stimulation of trade and industry in the Atlantic Provinces. Administrative files deal with liaison with the provincial government and private associations which sponsor seminars or workshops on trade with overseas nations as well as staffing matters, personnel policy and annual reports to headquarters in Ottawa. Operational files include records on trade fairs in Halifax and overseas, program files, and commodity files on efforts to promote pre-fabricated housing materials made in New Brunswick, to attract aircraft manufacturers bidding for the fighter aircraft project in Nova Scotia and to find new markets for fishing boats and fishing gear manufacturers.

These records were originally held in Nova Scotia. They were transferred to the National Capital Region in 2016 and are available for consultation there.
