Textual records (Papier) The present version of Finding Aid No. 285 lists the transcripts, photostats and microfilm selections of the records of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel held by the National Archives of Canada. It follows the original SPG reference and volume numbers which are listed in the column on the left hand side of the table. The middle columns provide the contents and inclusive dates of the documents. The columns on the right hand side list the corresponding microfilm reel numbers where the documents and, occasionally, calendars can be found. Where possible, page numbers are provided from the SPG originals or the NA transcripts to further assist in finding material. The new finding aid includes the microfilms acquired since 1956 which were not in the original finding aid: reels A-1904 to A-1917 purchased in 1989 and reels H-1994 to H-2007 made in 1991 from the transcripts. It has not been checked against the microfilms themselves. MSS0285 (90: Ouvert)
Textual records (Microforme) The SPG's preliminary inventory of its records, produced in 1954 and consequently valid for the Archives' pre-1956 copies, appears at the beginning of reel A-152. The National Archives also microfilmed the SPG's calendars and indexes, produced between 1934 and 1946, for correspondence series A (reels A-163 and A-164), series B (reels A-164 to A-166), and series C (reels A-166 to A-169). In most cases, the volumes copied contain their own internal indexes or tables of contents. In addition, the National Archives microfilmed the original version of Finding Aid No. 285 on reel C-4497. It provides a more detailed historical sketch of the SPG than in this version; an inventory of the material copied up to 1955; and two indexes to that inventory, one for personal names and one for place names.
