Show detail Hide detail

Sub-series consists of records relating to the granting of Bounty Land Certificates to volunteers of the South Africa war. The records include stubs of Bounty Land Certificates numbers 1 to 7428 (RG15 Volumes 1645-1646). Each stub contains the name, place, date and Military Warrant number.

The sub-series also contains aperture cards which consist of images of original registers. Each aperture card consists of a microfiche image held in a paper index card. In most cases each image is one page of the original register. The registers include an alphabetical index to Volunteers or Substitutes for warrants (Aperture cards book no. 53, two copies: R190 volumes 3237-3238, and vol 3298) and registers of warrants 1 to 7370 (Aperture cards books numbers 54-57, two copies: R190 volume 3238, and 3298-3299). These warrant numbers correspond to the application numbers for Volunteer Bounty, 1908.

Custodial history:

The aperture cards in this sub-series were created by a successor to the Department of the Interior sometime between 1948 and 1970. They were copied from original registers and ledgers and the originals were then destroyed. The aperture cards were then transferred to the National Archives in the early 1970s.

RG15 Aperture Card books were available in the LAC reference room until January 2023.

Accruals:

No further accruals are expected.

Related material:

These warrant numbers correspond to the application numbers for Volunteer Bounty, 1908. These applications can be found by number in the Department of Veterans Affairs fonds (RG38, R1183-0-7-E) volumes 117-135.
