Series consists of the final typescript of a report prepared by Robert England entitled "Report on the Re-organization of the Nationalities Branch of the Department of National War Services." Dissatisfaction with the work of the Nationalities Branch in 1942-1944 led to the commissioning of a report proposing a reorganization and suggesting future directions. Branch consultant Robert England's report, of which this appears to be a final typescript, was presented on 12 June 1944. It is a detailed exposition of the original mandate and structure of the Nationalities Branch, its history to 1944, its current problems, and recommendations for its reconstitution. England's detailed suggestions led to the informal reorganization of the Nationalities Branch as the "Citizenship Division" in or about August 1944.

England, Robert, 1894- : Robert England, born in 1894 at Portadown, Ireland, immigrated to Canada just prior to World War One. He was educated at Queen's University in Kingston and at the Collège libre de sciences social in Paris. Mr. England began his career as a teacher in the Ukrainian districts of Saskatchewan, 1920-1923. In 1924 he joined the Canadian National Railways as continental superintendent in London, England, and returned to Winnipeg in 1930 to become the CNR manager responsible for agricultural and colonization activities in Western Canada. In 1936, Robert England left the CNR to become Director of Extension at the University of British Columbia for one year. In 1937, he began a two-year stint as the economic advisor to the Winnipeg Electric Company.

With the outbreak of war in 1939, Robert England was appointed the Director of Educational Services for the Canadian Legion in London. After just a few months in London, Mr. England returned to Canada to become the Executive Secretary of the General Advisory Committee on Demobilization and Rehabilitation, 1940-1943. He was special assistant in the Department of National War Services and special executive assistant in the Department of Veterans' Affairs, 1944-1945. In 1946, he became chairman of the DVA Committee on University Requirements. From 1952 to 1968 he was an editorial advisor for Encyclopedia Americana. Mr. England spent the final years of his life in Victoria, B.C., with his wife Thelma England.
