Canada. Federal District Commission : In April 1927, the Federal District Commission (The Federal District Commission Act, 1927, S.C. 1926-1927, Chapter 55) superseded the Ottawa Improvement Commission and its functions were extended to include Hull and Vicinity. These were further extended in 1934 to include the improvement and maintenance of grounds surrounding Federal Government buildings in Ottawa, and in August 1945, the 900 square mile National Capital Region was established. Ten commissioners (nine appointed by the government, one by Ottawa - one member at least representing each Ottawa and Hull) reported through the Minister of Finance and Receiver General. The old OIC functions remained basically unchanged within the new, wider geographical area of the FDC, with the exception that bridges were included in the general mandate. Under the FDC much creative work was done building driveways, squares, parks, and major thoroughfares, including the beginnings of railway relocation, the Queensway, and Gatineau Park. Rather than responding to particular needs or isolated projects, the FDC gradually became involved in detailed urban planning for the whole national capital region. It also became largely responsible for the care of grounds and landscaping around federal buildings. The FDC was replaced in 1959 by the National Capital Commission (National Capital Act, 7 Elizabeth II, Chap. 37, 6 September 1958, proclaimed in 1959).

Within RG34M 912041, there is a list of plans describing 70 plates, some of which exist on more than one leaf. Many of these illustrations are reproduced elsewhere, for example: in the Plan for the national capital, preliminary report, 1948; and the Plan for the national capital, general report, 1950. The acquisition documentation file also contains correspondence from the NCC concerning the provenance and conservation of this accession. "This document, however, is the original and complete album of maps, diagrams, and photographs for the Gréber plan" -- NCC correspondence, 13 March 1992.

Note sur la description matérielle :

RG34M 85603/50 has pencil annotations showing land and property values in some of the area. RG34M 912041: Some of the leaves are manuscript, and some are photocopied maps with hand lettering.

Note sur l'état de conservation :

RG34M 81203/23 cartographic material: Items #1, 4, and 5 are in poor condition, with torn front covers, dirt and loose pages, no spine covers, and mould throughout.

Historique de la conservation :

Architectural drawings and cartographic material: RG34M 81203/23 is part of a larger accession transferred in Feb. 1981 to the Public Archives of Canada from the Public Activities Branch, National Capital Commission. These items were originally accessioned as 80102/7752, 80102/7753, 80102/7754, 80102/7755, and 80102/7756, but were reaccessioned as 81203/23. Provenance of RG34M 85603/50 is uncertain - it has been in the custody of the National Map Collection for many years but was never accessioned. Provenance of RG34M 88919 is uncertain. It was found with the records of RG34M, accession 81203/65, but because the drawings were not part of that accession they were accessioned separately. RG34M 912041 was transferred in March 1992 by the Executive Vice President and General Manager of the National Capital Commission.
