Office of the Administrator of the Arctic, central registry files [textual record]

Office of the Administrator of the Arctic, central registry files [textual record]
Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

Sub-series consists of central registry files created and maintained by the Office of the Administrator of the Arctic between 1950 and 1970. The files cover such subjects as air transportation, conferences, food rations, Centennial projects, Inuit education and employment, experimental housing, welfare, arts and crafts, personnel matters, divisional organization, health facilities, business licence returns, reports on various settlements, general information on private organizations, economic development, communications, territorial and local government, Inuit cooperatives, town planning, buildings, wildlife, forests, and the fur trade.

The Arctic Division and the subsequent Office of the Administrator of the Arctic maintained their own registry system which used the same system as did the Northern Administration Branch, but added the prefix "A" to all file numbers. Therefore, while file 351-1-6 was the Branch's file on Tote Trail Assistance, Northwest Territories, file A351-1-6 was a file on the same subject created by the Arctic Division or the Administrator of the Arctic. As can be seen from the inclusive dates, virtually no files were brought forward to this series from preceding agencies nor were any continued by succeeding ones.

Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Canada. Office of the Administrator of the Arctic : In 1950, the Northern Administrations Service was subdivided into an Arctic Division and a Yukon-Mackenzie River Division. While the latter did not survive under the Northern Administration and Lands Branch established in 1951, the Arctic Division did. In the major 1959 reorganization of the Branch, the Arctic Division became, in part, the Office of the Administrator of the Arctic. No change occurred in the registry system at that time. The Administrator of the Arctic, with headquarters in Ottawa, supervised field office activities of the Branch in the less populated Districts of Keewatin and Franklin and in Arctic Quebec. His responsibilities included education, engineering, welfare, and general administrative services. Area offices located at Rankin Inlet, Coral Harbour, Eskimo Point, and Baker Lake reported to a regional headquarters at Churchill, Manitoba. Area offices at Cape Dorset, Igloolik, and Hall Lake reported to regional headquarters at Frobisher Bay. Arctic Quebec offices were located at Fort Chimo, Sugluk, Port Harrison, and Great Whale River. RG85 General Inventory
