Show detail Hide detail

Sub-series consists of registry files from the central registry system established in 1910. The numbered subject files are divided into two main categories: public buildings, and harbours and rivers - (engineering). Access to these files is provided by a card index system (volumes 2638-2697, 2711-2713, 2716-2736, 2739-2790, 2888-2958, 3993-4009, 4035-4091, 4103-4273, 4284-4304, and 4402) by file number, and by a file list (volumes 4305-4401, and 5067-5087.) The card index includes a variety of topics, some of which might be unexpected given the two main categories. Some of the subjects are: the construction and maintenance of post offices and other public buildings (including several volumes concerning the reconstruction of the Parliament Buildings after the fire of 1916); dredging; the construction of bridges; and several smaller subject areas including, among others, historical monuments, flag regulations, the 1939 Royal tour, visits of foreign dignitaries, and the damage to buildings resulting from the 1917 Halifax explosion. A similar variety of material applies to the file lists., The sub-series also contains miscellaneous maps and drawings on Falls View Bridge at Niagara Falls (original construction 1879 and for the reconstruction in 1938), a dam at Shawinigan Falls, Ripple Rock - Seymour Narrows, La Gabelle development on the St. Maurice River, Assiniboine River development, assorted C.N.R. terminals, the Supreme Court of Canada, the base of the Sir Wilfred Laurier monument, maps of the proposed National War Memorial site and a map showing proposed improvements at Port Maitland and Grand River.

The two drawings from Art accession 1977-009 depict tentative schemes of decoration of the unveiling of the National War Memorial in Ottawa by King George VI in 1938.
