Recherche dans la collection - Records retention and disposition history cards of the British Columbia Regional Office [textual record]

Accession consists of records created and/or maintained by the British Columbia Regional Office of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada.

The accession contains records retention and disposition history cards, which are index cards tracking the life cycle of individual files created and maintained by the department. The cards contain various information such as file numbers, volume numbers, file titles, date ranges, Library and Archives Canada records centre control numbers, other control numbers (such as responsibility codes), and actions on the file (such as destruction, microfilming, transfer to records centre, or transfer to archival custody).

The records can be consulted in Vancouver, B.C.

Cards were originally stored in metal drawers and were later rehoused in 0.2 m boxes, with each box holding two drawers of cards.
