Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

Sub-series consists of Post Office documents that had been pulled from the original files and placed in the research files of the National Postal Museum. Prior to the final shut-down of the National Postal Museum as a part of Corporate Communications, Canada Post Corporation, a contractor was hired to extract the originals from the research files and place them in numerically sequenced files (usually grouped by subject - WWI, WWII, UPU, etc.). The research files were used to answer enquiries and in conjunction with in-house research projects. Some of the various subjects covered by these records are air mail cachets, postal censorship, wartime postal service, international postal relations, stamp issues, franking privileges, labour relations and parcel post.
